A research team at the University of Washington utilized artificial intelligence, specifically a model called RFdiffusion, to design effective snake venom antidotes. Led by biochemistry student Susana Vázquez Torres, the team aimed to improve snakebite therapies by creating proteins that can bind to harmful components of snake venom, particularly those from the lethal Elapidae family. Their successful proof of concept indicates that this novel approach could neutralize toxic effects with minimal adverse reactions, marking a significant advancement in the treatment of snakebites and potentially saving lives.
