News Releases
January 11, 2010:
Uratim Ltd. releases the new version of its NASCENT tool. The new version is capable to predict much more protein-protein interactions, since it optionally uses the TrEMBL database of the UNIPROT. The default settings apply SwissProt.
The new version of the tool is available
at http://nascent.pitgroup.org for non-profit organizations.
August 27, 2009:
Prof. Grolmusz presented the network analysis tools , developed at Uratim Ltd., at the Annual Meeting of the Hungarian Biochemical Society at Budapest. The strictly mathematical method yielded clear-cut biological results in several applications.
July 3, 2009:
Uratim Ltd. concluded a very successful participation at the 17th Annual International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB)

May 29, 2009:
Uratim Ltd. exhibited its HTP protein-ligand docking tools and protein-protein interaction network analysis capability at the Annual Meeting the Peptide Chemistry Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences
at Balatonszemes, Hungary 26th-28th May 2009.
April 20, 2009:
Uratim Ltd. releases its WikiPDB tool. WikiPDB provides a Wikipedia-like interface (an extension of the Mediawiki software) for modification of files deposited in the PDB (Protein Data Bank), and discussion between scientists doing research on the same structures. Our system detects syntax errors, provides an API for semantic error checking plug-ins, and keeps track of different versions.
The server is available at http://wikipdb.org/ .
February 20, 2009:
Uratim Ltd. releases its ProtDict tool. ProtDict is a UniProt-based Protein dictionary, capable of finding UniProt entries based on AC numbers, SwissProt IDs, EC numbers, 3 types of gene names, and 100 different types of database cross references.
The server is available at http://protdict.pitgroup.org/ .
February 1, 2009:
Uratim Ltd. released its DECOMP server. The server repairs and annotates source files in the Protein Data Bank.
The server is available for non-profit organizations at http://decomp.pitgroup.org .
January 15, 2009:
Uratim Ltd. released its new NASCENT tool, for automatic prediction of protein-protein interaction networks for less researched species. The tool is available
at http://nascent.pitgroup.org for non-profit organizations.
November 13-14, 2008:
Professor Grolmusz from Uratim Ltd. served as a panel member and rapporteur at the"Challenges for the Future" International Conference
