This requirement must be performed using the NanoBRET assay technology. This is based on the scientific requirement, and the market research conducted that produced no other assay technology capable of achieving this requirement. This is a competitive requirement among vendors with the NanoBRET assay technology.
Background/Description of Requirement

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) requires the testing of forty-three (43) compounds against the AKT1 and LATS1 compounds in a NanoBRET Target Engagement Intracellular Kinase Assay. This testing will inform on kinase inhibitory activity in our compound series, and will facilitate further optimization and development of these AKT1 / LATS1 compounds as well as potential treatments. 

The contractor will be required to:
1. Test 43 compounds against the AKT1 and LATS1 compounds in a NanoBRET target Engagement Intracellular Kinase Assay.
2. Provide a comprehensive report with the results of the experiments of each of the 43 compounds against AKT1 and LATS1. The report is to be submitted electronically to NCATS within 60 days after receiving the compounds for testing.

NCATS will provide sufficient quantities of the lead compounds in order to contractor to accomplish the requiremens described above. NCATS anticipates sending the compounds to the contractor shortly after contract award.
