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.

Rational Design of Mimic Multienzyme Systems in Hierarchically Porous Biomimetic Metal–Organic Frameworks

TL;DR: The mimic multienzyme systems were used for the efficient colorimetric detection of a series of biomolecules, including glucose and uric acid, and displays the great potential to construct highly functional biocatalysts by integrating the merits of both natural enzymes and MOF mimics.
