  1. Chimeric SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD mutants of swapped CR1, CR2, CR3 from other phylogenetically close sarbecovirus species and representative SARS-CoV-2 VOCs was compared to WT SARS-CoV-2 RBD for swapped subdomains’ impact on of RBD/hACE2 interaction affinity, with enhancement degree quantitatively labelled by ↑, ↑↑, ↑↑↑, ↑↑↑↑ representing 15, 510, 20100, >100 fold change respectively, or attenuation degree by ↓, ↓↓, ↓↓↓, ↓↓↓↓ representing 15, 510, 20100, >100 fold change respectively. N/A, data not available due to specific mutants of no or extreme low expression level not applicable for protein purification.
