Anthropic reports the first 3D structure of a bacterial vault particle, solved with Claude assisting the lab work
Seven of 15 candidate proteins assembled into vault-like particles and cryo-EM confirmed four structures. Anthropic also lists two Claude errors, one of which cost about two weeks.
Anthropic's biology team published a study reporting what it describes as the first three-dimensional structure of a vault particle from prokaryotic cells. Vaults are large hollow protein shells that Leonard Rome and Nancy Kedersha first id…
