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 Flexible Interpenetrated Zirconium-Based Metal-Organic Framework with High Affinity toward Ammonia.

TL;DR: A flexible, interpenetrated Zr-MOF, NU-1401, composed of rare 4-connected Zr6 nodes and tetratopic naphthalenediimide (NDI)-based carboxylate linkers is reported, showing that the distance and overlap angle between the stacked NDI pairs in the entangled structure can be finely tuned and the interactions between NDI and solvent molecules lead to a solvochromism property.
