Dear DuYu, 

Ignore the suggestion to remove atoms and bonds. I guess John meant removing 
peptide substructures from larger molecules. You just want to filter lists of 
compounds, right. 
SMARTS are the way to go. Depending on the type of data you have you might also 
check for amino acid SMARTS to make sure that you do not filter molecules that 
have the peptide bond but are not peptides. 

Maybe, John’s blog item at
http://efficientbits.blogspot.de/2013/10/all-small-things.html?q=SMARTS 
could help with code examples.

Kind regards, 

Chris
