Split‐and‐mix peptide libraries have been encoded by capping cleavable, laddered sequences with p ‐bromobenzoic acid, allowing rapid analysis of the cleaved ladder fragments by mass spectrometry. The encoding methodology has been applied to the synthesis of libraries of peptide receptors and a library of tripeptides functionalised with a bicyclic guanidinium unit has been successfully screened to identify binding partners for Val‐Val‐Ile‐Ala, the C‐terminal tetrapeptide sequence of the amyloid‐β protein, Aβ(1–42).
