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.

Recyclable β-Glucosidase by One-Pot Encapsulation with Cu-MOFs for Enhanced Hydrolysis of Cellulose to Glucose

TL;DR: In this article, the β-glucosidase (β-G) was encapsulated into the Cu-MOF due to its acidic stability, using a coprecipitation approach.

In vivo behavior of MIL-100 nanoparticles at early times after intravenous administration.

TL;DR: The pharmacokinetic profile suggested that the nanoparticles act as a depot in the blood stream during the first hours before being cleared, and histological studies demonstrated the absence of morphological alterations due to the presence of the particles in these organs.

Size-Controlled Synthesis of Drug-Loaded Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework in Aqueous Solution and Size Effect on Their Cancer Theranostics in Vivo

TL;DR: A one-pot, rapid, and completely aqueous approach that can precisely tune the size of drug-loaded MOF at room temperature is reported that helps to find the optimal size of MOF as a drug carrier and opens new possibilities to construct multifunctional delivery systems for cancer theranostics.

Metal-Organic Framework as a Protective Coating for Biodiagnostic Chips.

TL;DR: The biofunctionality of the ZIF-8-protected biochip can be restored by a simple water-rinsing step, making it highly convenient for use in point-of-care and resource-limited settings.
