Anthropic — Claude designs novel protein binders against 14 of 15 targets

Weeks of expert binder design compressed to an autonomous run, on the same day the first mRNA cancer vaccine cleared Phase 3 — the AI-times-biology thread now has datapoints at both ends of the pipeline (design and clinic). Via citrini's TWST thread.

Many drugs work by binding to a specific target in the body and blocking or changing what it does. An important first step in the drug development process is designing a molecule that can bind tightly to its target. Traditionally, that's meant weeks or months of expert work per
