The findings, published in the journal Nature, detail how these engineered proteins protected mice from lethal doses of snake venom, marking a step forward in combating a global health issue.

The current way to produce antivenoms is antiquated. Experiments in mice suggest that an artificial intelligence approach could save time and money.

The computer-aided approach allowed researchers to design two proteins that provided near total protection against individual snake toxins in mouse experiments. While limited in scope, the team ...
