Claude Science autonomously designs scorpion toxin binders, generating over 310,000 designs in 24 hours
Decision Brief
What changedAnthropic's Claude, working mainly autonomously in the Claude Science environment, designed protein binders against scorpion neurotoxins, and lab testing identified 17 candidates that met the binder criteria.
Why it mattersFor protein design research teams, Claude can run autonomously for 24 hours after a single initial prompt, producing over 310,000 designs and narrowing them to 211 sent for testing, shifting the cost of initial candidate screening onto the model.

In Anthropic's Claude Science environment for researchers, Claude generated 318,484 protein binder designs against 5 toxins from 4 scorpion species. After receiving one initial prompt, Claude worked autonomously for 24 hours, with the research team later guiding direction through follow-up instructions. Claude selected 180 candidates on its own and the team added 31 more, for 211 designs entering lab testing, of which 17 met the binder criteria. The two strongest binders bound tightly to the Mexican scorpion toxin Cn2, and experiments showed their docking sites were the same as or similar to those of known antibodies that neutralize Cn2 in mice.
