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.

Specific Ligation of Two Multimeric Enzymes with Native Peptides and Immobilization with Controlled Molar Ratio

TL;DR: d-Amino acid oxidases are flavor enzymes and have been used in resolution of racemic amino acids and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, however, the evolved H2O2 during the catalysis has deleterious and inhibitory effects.

Calix[4]arene tetracarboxylic acid-treated lipase immobilized onto metal-organic framework: Biocatalyst for ester hydrolysis and kinetic resolution

TL;DR: In this article, a zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) was used for enzyme immobilization for bio-catalysis, and the preconditioned CRL was pretreated with calix [4]arene tetracarboxylic acid (Calix) and reacted with Zn and imidrazole by co-precipitation method.
