New whitepaper on Selvita Protein Modeling Platform
Tuesday, 21 October 2008
Thanks to international effort of genome sequencing projects, last years brought massive amount of new amino acid sequences. Although experimental methods for determining protein structure are providing new structures, they cannot keep the pace at which sequences are resolved. For a large fraction of proteins whose structures will not be determined experimentally, computational methods can provide valuable information.

Protein modeling in silico is a strong competency at Selvita. Our development team has extensive experience in protein modeling, structure prediction and mining of protein structure and sequence data on genomic scale. The full scope and high interoperability of our protein modeling tools makes Selvita unique among collaboration partners in the field.

We have implemented an unique protein modeling technology. Our innovative, comparative modeling strategies enable determination of high quality structures as well as protein fold recognition in more difficult cases, when standard sequence search methods have failed.

Detailed information on Selvita Protein Modeling Platform is included in the whitepaper:

Innovative compound with hypotensive activity available for partnering
Tuesday, 21 October 2008
SEL92 is a novel, patented  new chemical entity presenting hypotensive activity.  SEL92 has been shown safe, not showing neither neurotoxicity or cardiotoxicity, when  tested in vivo.  It has a well-defined mechanism of action and good specificity as observed in functional ex-vivo and in vivo assays.
SEL92 can be further developed in the field of hypertensive disorders including  pregnancy-induced hypertension (pre-eclampsia), pulmonary hypertension as well as renovascular hypertension.

SEL92 is currently developed by Selvita and available for partnering.
