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.

Factors affecting the growth formation of nanostructures and their impact on electrode materials: A systematic review

TL;DR: In this paper , a review of the factors affecting the morphology and growth of nanostructures in electrodes, such as choices for precursors (salts, co-precursors, and solvents), reaction parameters (concentration, time, temperature, pressure, and pH), type of synthesis (bulk, templated, directly grown on current collectors) and structural changes after post-treatment and post-cycling, are discussed.

Sustainable One-Pot Immobilization of Enzymes in/on Metal-Organic Framework Materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on one of these strategies, namely, the one-pot enzyme immobilization within sustainable MOFs, which is particularly enticing as the resultant biocomposite Enzyme@MOFs have the potential to be: (i) prepared in situ, that is, in just one step; (ii) synthesized under sustainable conditions: with water as the sole solvent at room temperature with moderate pHs, etc., (iii) retain high enzyme loading; (iv) have negligible protein leaching; and (v) give enzymatic activities
