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.

One-pot synthesis of a composite consisting of the enzyme ficin and a zinc(II)-2-methylimidazole metal organic framework with enhanced peroxidase activity for colorimetric detection for glucose

TL;DR: Ficin was immobilized in a new saucer-like shape of Ficin@MOF composites, which showed higher peroxidase activity than free ficin, which was successfully applied to the determination of glucose in diluted serum samples.

Enzyme immobilization in highly ordered macro–microporous metal–organic frameworks for rapid biodegradation of hazardous dyes

TL;DR: Through enzyme immobilization, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is encapsulated in highly ordered macro–micropore zeolitic imidazolate framework-8, in which the encapsulated enzyme not only fully preserved its catalytic activity, but also exhibited long-term stability, recyclability, low leakage, and resistance to chelating compounds.

Hydrogen-bonded organic framework biomimetic entrapment allowing non-native biocatalytic activity in enzyme

TL;DR: In this article , an exogenous hydrogen-bonded organic framework was designed to modulate the conformation of cytochrome c, and hence allow non-native bioactivity for the enzyme.

The assay of catalases and peroxidases.

TL;DR: Two methods are described for the catalase assay by disappearance of peroxide are: ultraviolet spectrophotometry and permanganate titration and indirect measurements of the decrease of light absorption caused by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide byCatalase.
