An enzyme/metal-organic framework (MOF) composite with both highly stable and easily reusable features was prepared via tethering enzyme/MOF nanocrystals with polydopamine (PDA). The micrometer-sized PDA tethered enzyme/MOF composite can be easily repeatedly used without obvious activity loss, promising for efficient enzymatic catalysis at low cost with long-term operational stability under harsh conditions.

Pathogenic bacteria have consistently posed a formidable challenge to human health, creating the critical need for effective antibacterial solutions. In response, enzyme-metal-organic framework (MOF) composites have emerged as a promising class of antibacterial agents. This study focuses on the development of an enzyme-MOF composite based on HZIF-8, incorporating the advantages of simple synthesis, ZIF-8 antibacterial properties, lysozyme hydrolysis, and high biological safety.

Enzyme-incorporated composites with hierarchical porous structures can lead to improved performance of hybrid biocatalysts. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as excellent biomineralizable materials for forming hybrid biocatalysts, offering superior performance for biocatalytic reactions. However, the small nanopores of MOFs significantly reduce the diffusion rates of small substrate molecules, hindering the contact between the inner active sites of an enzyme and the molecules, lowering the biocatalytic efficiency.

Objectives: Enzyme/metal-organic framework composites with high stability in protein denaturing solvents were reported in this study.
Results: Encapsulation of enzyme in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via co-precipitation process was realized, and the generality of the synthesis was validated by using cytochrome c, horseradish peroxidase, and lipase B as model enzymes. The stability of encapsulated enzyme was greatly increased after immobilization on MOFs.
