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.

Highly Efficient Ion Sieving Through Angstrom-Scale Channels Embedded With Supramolecular Coordination Complexes

TL;DR: In this article , the inner walls of a solid polyethylene terephthalate channel having a bullet-like morphology based on self-assembled interfacial growth were attached to the supramolecular coordination complexes and the resulting channels allowed the rapid transport of monovalent metal ions from tip to base while inhibiting the migration of divalent ions (Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ ).

Comparative Study on Thermodynamic and Geochemical Characteristics between Cemented and Clotted Parts of Thrombolite

TL;DR: In this paper, X-ray diffraction was used to determine the mineral composition of the cemented and clotted part in the same thrombolite, and thermal analysis and stable isotope geochemistry were used to explore the thermal stability and stable carbon isotope.

Amino Acid-Coated Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework for Delivery of Genetic Material in Prostate Cancer Cell

TL;DR: In this paper , a green fluorescence protein (GFP)-expressing plasmid DNA (pDNA) is used as a representative of a biomolecule to encapsulate within a Zn-based metal-organic framework (MOF) called a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), the synthesized biocomposites are coated with positively charged amino acids (AA) to understand the effect of surface functionalization on the delivery of pDNA to prostate cancer (PC-3) cells.
