Biomimetic mineralization of metal-organic frameworks as protective coatings for biomacromolecules.

TLDR
It is shown that proteins, enzymes and DNA rapidly induce the formation of protective metal-organic framework coatings under physiological conditions by concentrating the framework building blocks and facilitating crystallization around the biomacromolecules.
Abstract
Robust biomacromolecules could be used for a wide range of biotechnological applications. Here the authors report a biomimetic mineralization process, in which biomolecules are encapsulated within metal-organic frameworks, and their stability is subsequently increased without significant bioactivity loss.

One-pot synthesis of trypsin-based magnetic metal–organic frameworks for highly efficient proteolysis

TL;DR: A facile approach for the one-pot synthesis of trypsin-immobilized magnetic zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (iron oxide@ZIF-8@trypsin) is reported, which could be applied as an immobilized enzyme microreactor (IMER) to rapidly and efficiently digest proteins and complex human serum samples with satisfactory results, showing great promise for application in proteomic analysis.

Nanotechnologies for Intracellular Protein Delivery: Recent Progress in Inorganic and Organic Nanocarriers

TL;DR: The authors describe the most recent progress in the development of inorganic (silica, gold, phosphate, metal–organic framework, carbon nanoparticles) as well as organic (polymer, lipid) nanoparticles, both applied to intracellular protein delivery.

Biomimetic core-shell silica nanoparticles using a dual-functional peptide.

TL;DR: The fundamental mechanism of silica formation through a peptide catalyzed biosilicification was systematically investigated, so that the formation of oil-core silica-shell nanocapsules can be precisely controlled.
