Journal ArticleDOI
Immobilization of MP-11 into a Mesoporous Metal–Organic Framework, MP-11@mesoMOF: A New Platform for Enzymatic Catalysis
Vasiliki Lykourinou,Yao Chen,Xi-Sen Wang,Le Meng,Tran Hoang,Li-June Ming,Ronald L. Musselman,Shengqian Ma +7 more
TL;DR: Microperoxidase-11 has for the first time been successfully immobilized into a mesoporous metal-organic framework (MOF) consisting of nanoscopic cages and it demonstrates superior enzymatic catalysis performances compared to its mesoporus silica counterpart.
Journal ArticleDOI
How can proteins enter the interior of a MOF? Investigation of cytochrome c translocation into a MOF consisting of mesoporous cages with microporous windows.
Yao Chen,Vasiliki Lykourinou,Carissa M. Vetromile,Tran Hoang,Li-June Ming,Randy W. Larsen,Shengqian Ma +6 more
TL;DR: It has been demonstrated for the first time that the heme protein cytochrome c (Cyt c) can enter the interior of a MOF despite the larger molecular dimension of the protein relative to the access pore sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size-Selective Biocatalysis of Myoglobin Immobilized into a Mesoporous Metal–Organic Framework with Hierarchical Pore Sizes
TL;DR: The protein myoglobin has been successfully immobilized into a mesoporous metal-organic framework with hierarchical pore sizes, which demonstrates interesting size-selective biocatalysis as well as superior catalytic activities toward small substrate oxidation compared to its Mesoporous silica material counterpart.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal Complexes of a Multidentate Cyclophosphazene with Imidazole‐Containing Side Chains for Hydrolyses of Phosphoesters – Bimolecular vs. Intramolecular Dinuclear Pathway
TL;DR: The high catalytic specificity of Cu3Im6Cpz towards the phosphomonoester NPP suggests that it can serve as a good model system and a blueprint for further exploration of catalytic activity and specificity in phosphoester hydrolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iron(III) Complexes of Metal‐Binding Copolymers as Proficient Catalysts for Acid Hydrolysis of Phosphodiesters and Oxidative DNA Cleavage – Insight into the Rational Design of Functional Metallopolymers
Vasiliki Lykourinou,Ahmed I. Hanafy,Ahmed I. Hanafy,Kirpal S. Bisht,Alexander Angerhofer,Li-June Ming +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Fe3+ complexes of pyridine-containing copolymers were found to be efficient and selective catalysts toward phosphodiester hydrolysis and show significant activity toward oxidative DNA cleavage.
