Sybodies compete with ACE2 for RBD binding. (A) Sb16 (slate), Sb45 (cyan) and Sb68 (purple) - RBD complexes were superposed on the ACE2—RBD structure (salmon) (6M0J) based on the RBD. Sb16 is buried inside ACE2; Sb45 is partially buried in ACE2; and Sb68 has major clashes with two N-glycan sites (N322 and N546) of ACE2. (B) Epitopic areas (on RBD) captured by ACE2 (salmon), BSA = 844 (Å2); (C) by Sb16 (slate), BSA = 1003 (Å2); (D) by Sb45 (cyan), BSA = 976 (Å2); and (E) by Sb68 (purple), BSA = 640 (Å2).
