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.

Multifunctional Nanoparticles by Coordinative Self-Assembly of His-Tagged Units with Metal–Organic Frameworks

TL;DR: The coordinative interaction of oligohistidine-tags (His-tags) with metal-organic framework nanoparticles (MOF NPs) is presented and the reported functionalization approach opens great flexibility for the targeted synthesis of multifunctional NPs for specific purposes.

Encapsulation of lipase within metal-organic framework (MOF) with enhanced activity intensified under ultrasound.

TL;DR: The enzyme under lower-intensity ultrasonic irradiation leads to favorable conformational changes, thereby enhancing its activity, and this highly activated lipase was encapsulated within zeolite imidazolate framework-8 as a metal-organic framework (MOF) material via facile one-step biomineralization method.
