The following uses look behind (?<=...) with a match set [KR]and negative look ahead (?!P) that rejects a "following P" match in a split to slice up the protein:

use strict; use warnings; my @proteins = qw( DAAAAATTLTTTAMTTTTTTCKMMFRPPPPPGGGGGGGGGGGG ALTAMCMNVWEITYHKGSDVNRRASFAQPPPQPPPPLLAIKPASDASD DAAAAATTLTTTAMTTTTTTCK ); for my $protein (@proteins) { my @peptides = split /(?<=[KR])(?!P)/, $protein; next if @peptides < 2; print "Protein: $protein\n"; print "Peptides:\n"; print " $_\n" for @peptides; }

Prints:

Protein: DAAAAATTLTTTAMTTTTTTCKMMFRPPPPPGGGGGGGGGGGG Peptides: DAAAAATTLTTTAMTTTTTTCK MMFRPPPPPGGGGGGGGGGGG Protein: ALTAMCMNVWEITYHKGSDVNRRASFAQPPPQPPPPLLAIKPASDASD Peptides: ALTAMCMNVWEITYHK GSDVNR R ASFAQPPPQPPPPLLAIKPASDASD
