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.

Enzyme-embedded metal–organic framework membranes on polymeric substrates for efficient CO2 capture

TL;DR: In this paper, carbonic anhydrase (CA) molecules were embedded into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via physical absorption and chemical bonds, which could overcome the enzymatic inactivation and the poor separation property of pristine MOF materials.

Biomimetic mineralized strontium-doped hydroxyapatite on porous poly(l-lactic acid) scaffolds for bone defect repair

TL;DR: The results indicated that the Sr-HA/PLLA porous scaffold could improve the surface hydrophobicity, reduce the acidic environment of the degradation, and enhance the osteoinductivity; moreover, the ability of protein adsorption and the modulus of compression were increased.
