The enzymatic synthesis of lactose caprate using lipase immobilized into ZIF-8 and investigation of its anticancer applications against K562 leukemia and HeLa cancer cells.

In this study, a lactose fatty acid ester was enzymatically synthesised using immobilized lipase (CRL). Its anticancer property against K562 leukemia and HeLa cancer cells was carefully investigated. In the first step, a strategy was applied to encapsulate CRL into a microporous zeolite imidazolate framework called ZIF-8.

Carbonic Anhydrase-Embedded ZIF-8 Electrospun PVA Fibers as an Excellent Biocatalyst Candidate.

There is a growing concern that the increasing concentration of CO in the atmosphere contributes to a potential negative impact on global climate change. To deal with this problem, developing a set of innovative, practical technologies is essential. In the present study, maximizing the CO utilization and precipitation as CaCO was evaluated.

Preparation and characterization of nanofibrous metal-organic frameworks as efficient catalysts for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates in solvent-free conditions.

Environmental concerns, particularly global warming, represent serious threats to public health globally. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are innovative materials with prominent features such as ultrahigh surface area, high porosity and tunable cavities, which make them unique materials both in adsorption of carbon dioxide and catalysis. The design of new nanocomposites by using metal-organic frameworks as building materials has received broad attention recently.

Novel bovine carbonic anhydrase encapsulated in a metal-organic framework: a new platform for biomimetic sequestration of CO.

In this work, maximizing the utilization of CO and its precipitation as CaCO by using immobilized bovine carbonic anhydrase (BCA) was evaluated. In this way, selection of suitable carriers which have a gas adsorption function would enhance the CO sequestration efficiency of the carbonic anhydrase (CA). So a metal-organic framework (MOF), an excellent material for gas adsorption and enzyme immobilization was used.
