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.

Controllable Microporous Framework Isomerism within Continuous Mesoporous Channels: Hierarchically Porous Structure for Capture of Bulky Molecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of microporous metal-organic frameworks (HPMOFs) within continuous mesoporous channels has been studied, where ligand vapor-induced crystallization is used to construct MOFs inside mesopore channels, in which vapored ligand at elevated temperature diffuses and reacts with metal precursor.
