Anthropic says Claude designed working protein binders, and beat human experts on some
Anthropic says its Claude models designed working protein binders and ran a chemical-analysis job in minutes. It published the two experiments on Tuesday. The company reported the results itself. It framed them as early evidence that Claude can speed up parts of drug development.
Anthropic shared the work on its research blog.
The headline numbers are Anthropic’s own. Claude designed protein binders against 15 targets and succeeded against 14, the company said. Between 22 and 35 percent of its designs bound to their target, depending on the setup. Anthropic says 10 to 15 percent is typical in the field today. Some of the strongest designs bound several times more tightly than the best previously published result, it added.
The wet-lab checks were not done in-house. Two outside firms, Adaptyv Bio and Twist Bioscience, independently produced and tested Claude’s designs, Anthropic said. That physical validation is the part of protein work...
