AI-designed proteins neutralize snake toxins

A new study in Nature by last year's Nobel Laureate in Chemistry reveals a possible game-changer in snakebite treatment. Researchers have created new proteins that neutralise lethal toxins found in snake venom, potentially offering a safer and more effective alternative to traditional antivenoms. According to the WHO, venomous snakebites affect between 1,8 and 2,7 million people each year,
