The acquisition is a Brand-Name Only Full and Open competition.

The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) Material Measurement Laboratory (MML), Biomolecular Structure & Function (BSF) Group (1) advances novel measurement methods and models for the determination and analysis of the structure and function of biological macromolecules, including lipids, DNA, RNA, and proteins and macromolecular complexes and assemblies formed by these molecules; (2) advances methods to determine the physical and chemical factors which determine the specific interactions of macromolecules with cofactors and ligands; (3) studies the relationships between biomolecule structure, dynamics, function, and energetics using computational, biophysical and biochemical techniques; (4) develops reference databases for these properties; and (5) advances measurement methods for engineering complex biological systems.

The Group is establishing a bio-manufacturing testbed for representative processes used during the production of therapeutic proteins. To support this work, the group requires capabilities to perform at-line rapid measurements of mammalian cell culture clonal screening, colony outgrowth and protein biologics titer and glycan measurements.
