These mini binders, <scene name='10/1075249/Lcb1_and_full_spike_protein/1'>LCB1</scene> and AHB2, were designed from “scratch” (de novo) with the intention to mimic the binding of ACE2 to spike protein <ref name="Longxing">PMID:32907861</ref>. Using Rotamer Interaction Field (RIF) docking, the proteins were able to make the most efficient bonding using the ACE2 spike protein binding interface <ref name="Longxing">PMID:32907861</ref>. Using Site Saturation Mutagenesis (SSM), every residue in the minibinder’s helix scaffold will be substituted with each of the 20 amino acids, one at a time <ref name="Valleti">PMID:24970191</ref>. Forming SSM libraries, each of the libraries converged on a small number of closely related sequences, and from these libraries, the design was selected for LCB1 and AHB2 to find the sequence that yields a protein with a high affinity for the spike proteins receptor binding domain  <ref name="Longxing">PMID:32907861</ref>.
