This volume explores the latest techniques and strategies used to study the field of peptide macrocycles. The chapters in this book ae organized into four parts: macrocycles synthesis, combinational library synthesis and screening, macrocycle characterization, and unique applications. Part One looks at a variety of peptide cyclization methodologies, and Part Two describes methods for the creation of peptide macrocycles libraries and their subsequent screening against biological targets of interest. Part Three discusses the study and characterization of peptide macrocycle-target interactions, and Part Four introduces unique applications for peptide macrocycles, from higher-order structure formation to post-synthetic functional modifications. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Peptide Macrocycles: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for both novice and expert researchers looking to learn more about this developing field.
This report presents a cost analysis of Ester-Grade Acrylic Acid (EAA) production from crude glycerol. The two-step process examined is similar to Arkema process. In this process, crude glycerol (at 85 wt% purity) obtained as by-product of biodiesel plants, is used as the main raw material. After purification, glycerol is dehydrated to acrolein and subsequently oxidized. The final product obtained is EAA, which is used in the production of acrylic esters. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): US Patent 2010/0168471 A1, issued to Arkema in 2010 Keywords: Glicerin, Dehydration, Oxidation, Unsaturated Carboxylic Acid, Propenoic Acid
This report presents a cost analysis of Ester-Grade Acrylic Acid (EAA) production from acetylene and carbon monoxide. The process examined involves the addition of carbon monoxide to acetylene using a nickel carbonyl catalyst.

This report presents a cost analysis of bio-based Acrylic Acid production from glucose syrup using a fermentation process In the process examined, glucose is fermented to produce 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HPA), which is dehydrated to produce Acrylic Acid. The process uses a 70 wt% glucose-water syrup as raw material and the final product obtained is Glacial Acrylic Acid. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 9428778, issued to Cargill in 2016 (2) US Patent 7186856, issued to Cargill in 2007 Keywords: Dextrose, Fermentation, Salt-Splitting, 3-HP, Dehydration, Glacial Acrylic Acid
This report presents a cost analysis of bio-based Acrylic Acid production from raw sugar using a fermentation process. The process examined is similar to the speculative process proposed by the Delft University of Technology. In this process, a biological agent is able to convert raw sugar (sucrose) to acrylic acid through an anaerobic metabolic pathway. The final product obtained in the process is Glacial Acrylic Acid. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Straathof, A. et al., "Feasibility of Acrylic Acid Production by Fermentation", Applied Microbiology Biotechnology, 2005, 67:727-734 Keywords: Bioacrylic Acid, Propenoic Acid, Anaerobic Fermentation, Unsaturated Carboxylic Acid, Green Acrylic Acid, Renewable Feedstock
This report presents a cost analysis of Ester-Grade Acrylic Acid (EAA) production from propane The process examined is a novel process for propane oxidation. In this process, propane is fed to an oxydehydrogenation reactor in the presence of steam to form propylene. The propylene-containing gas passes through a two-stage vapor phase oxidation to generate an acrylic acid-containing gas, from which acrylic acid is recovered via absorption in water. The aqueous acrylic acid solution is purified via light solvent extraction to Ester-grade Acrylic Acid (EAA). This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Acrylic Acid and Derivatives", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition (2) US Patent 6492548, issued to Union Carbide in 2002 Keywords: Propene, Air Oxidation, Propenoic Acid, Nippon Shokubai, Rohm & Haas, Dow
