The use of lanthanides in preference to radioisotopes as probes for various biological assays has gained enormous popularity. The introduction of lanthanide chelates to peptides/proteins can be carried out either in solution using a commercially available labelling kit or by solid‐phase peptide synthesis using an appropriate lanthanide chelate. Herein, a detailed protocol for the latter is provided for the labelling of peptides or small proteins with diethylenetriamine‐ N , N , N ″, N ″‐tetra‐tert‐butyl acetate‐ N ′‐acetic acid (DTPA) chelate or other similar chelates on a solid support using a chimeric insulin‐like peptide composed of human insulin‐like peptide 5 (INSL5) A‐chain and relaxin‐3 B‐chain as a model peptide.
