22. To facilate native ligation, Cys and Gly were added at the N and C termini, respectively, of the core WW sequence (residues 165-209 of the human YAP protein).
23. Cyclic protein 2 was digested with trypsin, and the peptide fragment encompassing the ligation site (AMLSQGCFEIPDDVPLPAG- WEMAK) characterized by Edman sequencing.

25. The linear WW domain was also chemically synthesized by Boc solidphase protein synthesis and purified by standard procedures.
26. Residues located at the immediate N and C termini could not be unambiguously assigned in either the linear or cyclic WW domains.
27. Large effective molarities were described for many intramolecular organic reactions: F. M. Menger, Acc. Chem. Res. 1985, 75, 128-134.
