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.

Template‐Directed Synthesis of Porous and Protective Core–Shell Bionanoparticles

TL;DR: It is shown how a robust protein template, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), can be used to regulate the size and shape of as-fabricated MOF materials, and discrete rod-shaped TMV@MOF core-shell hybrids with good uniformity are obtained.

Enzyme embedded metal organic framework (enzyme-MOF): De novo approaches for immobilization.

TL;DR: This review presents a holistic insight of two different de novo strategies i.e. co-precipitation and biomineralization with state-of-art examples of enzyme-MOF biocomposites in terms of catalytic activity, thermal/chemical stability, Michaelis-Menten kinetics, recyclability and storage stability.
