Researchers have leveraged artificial intelligence to explore the antimicrobial potential of peptides found in animal venoms, including snakes, spiders, and scorpions. Venoms, evolved over millions of years to breach biological defenses, harbor a diverse set of bioactive compounds—over 200 unique peptides per species. AI-driven analyses have identified novel antimicrobial agents exhibiting fast, potent, and targeted action. This research, published in Nature Communications, highlights venom peptides as promising candidates to address the escalating global crisis of antimicrobial resistance.
