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.

Nanocomposite of Peroxidase-Like Cucurbit[6]uril with Enzyme-Encapsulated ZIF-8 and Application for Colorimetric Biosensing.

TL;DR: In this article, cucurbiturils (CBs), a class of macrocyclic supramolecules, were observed to have an interesting peroxidase-like activity, which is metal-free, substrate-specific, thermophilic, acidophilic and insensitive to ionic strength.

Improving capture efficiency of human cancer cell derived exosomes with nanostructured metal organic framework functionalized beads

TL;DR: A nanocoating strategy using metal-organic framework (MOF) materials, in particular, Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 (ZIF-8), for highly efficient capturing of low concentration of exosomes from minimally processed samples, which is 180 times higher than the previously reported methods using naked microbeads.

Loading and release of doxorubicin hydrochloride from iron(iii) trimesate MOF and zinc oxide nanoparticle composites.

TL;DR: The results obtained in this work indicate that the DOX loading capacity increases upon addition of nanoparticles when the original MOF has lower mesopore volume, whereas the composites synthesized by the HF route with enhanced loading capacity exhibit slower DOX release rates due to the stronger interaction of the drug with the composite.
