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.

Covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase on amino MOFs via post-synthetic modification

TL;DR: The post-synthetic modification of two amino-MOFs with glucose oxidase with multi-step approach preserved the MOFs' structure and allowed the production of enzyme-functionalized MOFs (MOFs@GOx), which retained the enzymatic activity and showed selective properties for glucose.

Enzyme Shielding in an Enzyme‐thin and Soft Organosilica Layer

TL;DR: A synthetic chemical strategy is described to produce hybrid organic/inorganic nanobiocatalysts by exploiting the self-assembly of silane building blocks at the surface of enzymes to grow an organosilica layer, of controlled thickness, that fully shields the enzyme.
