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.

Immunometabolism in the development of rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: A disease‐specific metabolic signature is yielded, which enables naive CD4 T cells to differentiate into pro‐inflammatory helper T cells that are prone to invade into tissue and elicit inflammation through immunogenic cell death.

Metal–Organic Framework Encapsulation for the Preservation and Photothermal Enhancement of Enzyme Activity

TL;DR: Metal-organic framework is utilized to stabilize the immobilized active protein and provides an effective route to enhance and externally modulate the biocatalytic activity of enzymes bound to functional nanostructures over a broad range of operating environments that are otherwise hostile to the biomolecules.

Rationally designing hydrophobic UiO-66 support for the enhanced enzymatic performance of immobilized lipase

TL;DR: It was found that the properties of immobilized ANL were remarkably enhanced through hydrophobic modification of UiO-66, and the immobilized lipase demonstrated a rather good reusability, with 83.0% activity remaining after ten successive operations.

Enzyme nanocapsules armored by metal-organic frameworks: A novel approach for preparing nanobiocatalyst

TL;DR: nCAT@ZIF-8 showed improved thermal stability, reusability and storage stability than the free CAT, nCAT and CAT encapsulated in Zif-8 by co-precipitation method (CAT/ZIF) and the versatility of this approach was validated by using penicillin G acylases (PGA and the obtained PGA nanobiocatalyst also showed excellent catalytic performance.
