Taken together, SR4 169 and MR17, and probably MR3, neutralize SARS-CoV-2 by competitively blocking the For biparatopic fusion, we first identified two sybodies, namely LR1 and LR5 (Fig. 208 3A, 3B), that could bind RBD in addition to MR3 using the BLI assay. As LR5 showed 209 higher affinity and neutralization activity than LR1 (Fig. 1A) , we fused this non-210 competing sybody to the N-terminal of MR3 with various length of GS linkers ranging 211 from 13 to 34 amino acids (Extended Data Table S1 ). Neutralizing nanobodies bind SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD and block interaction with 803 ./cache/cord-332134-88wfcc3y.txt ./txt/cord-332134-88wfcc3y.txt
