Selection, biophysical and structural analysis of synthetic nanobodies that effectively neutralize SARS-CoV-2

Here, the authors isolate several nanobodies from a synthetic library that bind the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S) and neutralize S pseudotyped viruses. Cryo-EM structure of Spike with one nanobody and further biophysical analysis shows competition with ACE2 binding.
