aThe homotyrosine residue is depicted with the underlined letter Y in peptides P7, P9, and P10.

bPredicted helical content using Agadir program available at https://agadir.crg.es; n.a., not applicable (for hTyr containing sequences).

cPredicted antigenicity calculated at http://imed.med.ucm.es/Tools/antigenic.pl; n.a., not applicable (for hTyr containing sequences).

dExperimental helical content determined by circular dichroism (see Fig. 2).

eMean percentage of inhibition on Vero-E6 cells of at least three independent experiments (see Fig. 3a and Supplementary Fig. 3).

fMean viral titration on Calu-3 cells (see Fig. 3d (Fig. 3b for Vero-E6 cells)).

ggIC50 determined on Calu-3 cells only for peptides able to inhibit SARSCoV-2 cell infection.

hDissociation constants with SARS-Cov-2 RBD-SD1 measured by BLI for peptides with IC50 in the nM range. KD values are the mean of three independent determinations (P9 and P10).
