| Peptides serve as fundamental building blocks of proteins and are involved in numerous physiological functions, including hormone regulation, immune response, and cellular signaling. Their smaller size compared to proteins allows for easier manipulation and analysis, making them ideal candidates for research applications. | Peptides serve as fundamental building blocks of proteins and are involved in numerous physiological functions, including hormone regulation, immune response, and cellular signaling.

This method is less common but can be advantageous for synthesizing longer peptides or complex structures. Liquid-phase synthesis allows for more flexibility in reaction conditions and can be used to incorporate non-standard amino acids. |
