<ul><li>A team led by Susana Vázquez Torres at the University of Washington has used AI to create proteins that neutralize snake venom more effectively than traditional antivenoms.</li><li>Using deep learning models, the researchers generated millions of potential antitoxin structures and used AI tools to predict the most promising designs.</li><li>The newly designed proteins successfully bound tightly to deadly snake venom toxins, showed high stability, and demonstrated a survival rate of 80-100% in mouse studies.</li><li>The AI-designed proteins are small, heat-resistant, easy to manufacture, and have the potential to be mass-produced at low cost, providing accessible and affordable treatment to snakebite victims.</li></ul>
