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.

Exfoliated Nanosheets of a CuII Coordination Polymer Modulate Enzyme Activity of α-Chymotrypsin.

TL;DR: A 2D coordination polymer derived from 5-azidoisophthalic acid and Cu(NO3 )2 was designed with the aim of modulating the activity of a digestive enzyme α-chymotrypsin and revealed that the inhibition of ChT followed a competitive pathway.

Stability of ZIF-8 Nanoparticles in Most Common Cell Culture Media

TL;DR: A quantitative investigation of the ZIF-8 nanoparticle’s stability in most common cell culture media was reported and a strong correlation between the amount of escaped cargo and total concentration of amino acids in the environment was found.

De novo synthesis of enzyme-embedded covalent organic frameworks (COFs) using deep eutectic solvent: Pushing the COF limits

TL;DR: In this article , an enzyme embedding within imine-based COFs regardless of pore dimensions is presented by pre-functionalizing the enzyme with COF aldehyde precursor and facilitating "armor-like" COF exoskeleton formation from the enzyme surface via condensation of COF and amine precursors at ambient conditions using choline chloride/urea deep eutectic solvent as both solvent and catalyst.

Efficient delivery of cytosolic proteins by protein-hexahistidine-metal co-assemblies.

TL;DR: Based on the coordinative interaction between His6 and metal ions, various proteins were encapsulated in situ into nanosized and positively charged protein encapsulation particles (Protein@HmA) through a co-assembly process with a high loading capacity and loading efficiency as mentioned in this paper.
