“…The preparation of synthetic peptides like oxytocin, vasopressin, angiotensins, was a difficult and time consuming accomplishment (Schwyzer, 1996; Ragnarsson, 2007) until the introduction of solid phase peptide synthesis, which automated the synthetic process (Merrifield, 1963), thus allowing the routine high‐throughput synthesis of peptides, large polypeptides and small proteins in the range of 30–100 amino acid residues (Loffet, 2002). In parallel, combinatorial chemistry resulted in the synthesis of highly diverse peptide libraries, incorporating various chemical elements, groups, cofactors, metal atoms in the peptide or protein structures (Hruby, 2005; Sato et al, 2006; Watt, 2006).…”
