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.

A novel ratiometric electrochemical biosensor for sensitive detection of ascorbic acid

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel ascorbic acid (AA) ratiometric biosensor was prepared by using the PCN-333 (Al) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to encapsulate Ketjen black (KB) as catalyst for catalyzing oxidation of AA and thionine (Thi) as an internal reference signal simultaneously.

Biominerized gold-Hemin@MOF composites with peroxidase-like and gold catalysis activities: A high-throughput colorimetric immunoassay for alpha-fetoprotein in blood by ELISA and gold-catalytic silver staining

TL;DR: The results indicate that the Hemin-Au@MOF-based immunoassays could be conducted by two signal amplification ways of hemin-catalystzed chromogenic reaction and gold-catalyzed silver staining, enabling the detection of AFP in blood with the level down to 0.020 ng mL−1.

An intelligent ZIF-8-gated polydopamine nanoplatform for in vivo cooperatively enhanced combination phototherapy.

TL;DR: The extreme complexity and heterogeneity of fatal tumors requires the development of combination phototherapy considering the limited therapeutic efficiency of conventional monomodal photodynamic therapy (PDT) or photothermal therapy (PTT).

Entrapment of surfactant modified lipase within zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-8

TL;DR: Prepared lipase-SDS ZIF-8 biocomposite was tested for chemical stability in polar denaturing solvents which showed excellent stability as compared to free lipase, and immobilized lipase retained 76% of residual activity even after six repetitive cycles.
