Claim Text:
1. A diverse library of binding proteins comprising a polypeptide chain having the general formula VH1-(X1)n-VH2-X2-VL1-(X3)n-VL2, wherein VH1 is a first heavy chain variable domain, X1 is a linker with the proviso that it is not a constant domain, VH2 is a second heavy chain variable domain, X2 is a linker, VL1 is a first light chain variable domain, X3 is a linker with the proviso that it is not a constant domain, VL2 is a second light chain variable domain, and n is 0 or 1, wherein the VH1 and VL1, and the VH2 and VL2 respectively combine to form two functional antigen binding sites, and wherein the amino acid sequences of VH1, X1, VH2, X2, VL1, X3, and/or VL2 independently vary within the library.
