Embedding an enzyme in the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) gives good protection to the fragile enzyme. However, this may also restrain the enzyme activity because of the decreased substrate accessibility. Encapsulation of lipase AK from Pseudomonas fluorescens for preparing the enzyme-MOF composite (AK@ZIF-8-PEI) was performed through a new strategy based on polyethyleneimine and enzyme induced in-situ growth of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). Characterizations indicate that AK@ZIF-8-PEI has a honeycomb structure and the hierarchical porosity formed during the preparation, which provides adequate mass transfer channels for catalytic applications. Activity evaluation shows that specific activity of AK@ZIF-8-PEI is 8-fold than the commercial lipase powder. AK@ZIF-8-PEI is demonstrated as an efficient catalyst in kinetic resolution of α-naphthol enantiomers through enantioselective transesterification. Within 12 h, the conversion and substrate enantiomeric excess (ee) reaches 49.8 % and 96.4 %, achieving an improved resolution than previous researches.

Nowadays, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been emerged as an efficient platform for enzyme immobilization due to their high porosity, tunability, and chemical versatility. In this study, a series of hybrid lipase@NKMOF-101-M (M = Mg, Mn, Zn, Co, or Ni) biocatalysts were constructed through a facile in situ encapsulation method, and the encapsulation and immobilization of lipase in MOFs were carefully validated. The catalytic activity of lipase@NKMOF-101-Mn was 2-fold higher than that of lipase@ZIF-8 and 3-fold higher than that of lipase@MCM-41 due to its excellent dispersibility and hydrophobicity in hexane.

Lipases have drawn significant attention due to their crucial roles across various industries, including oil processing, food, medicine, and daily chemicals. Nevertheless, their catalytic efficiency is susceptible to fluctuations in external environmental conditions, which remains a major barrier to their broader application. In this research, chiral hydrogel microspheres (HMSs) are developed by incorporating L/D-CoO nanoparticles (NPs) into the synthetic process of HMSs, which are discovered to enhance the catalytic performance of lipases.

Cooperative photobiocatalytic processes have seen extensive potentials for the synthesis of both bulk and fine chemicals owing to their versatility, eco-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. Nevertheless, developing a universal and effective synthetic strategy compatible with both catalytic systems remains challenging. In this study, we explored cationic liposomes as biocompatible photocatalyst encapsulation systems and combined them with bacteria overexpressing enzymes for two-step and three-step cascade reactions.

The artificial engineering of an enzyme's structural conformation and dynamic properties to promote its catalytic activity and stability outside cellular environments is highly pursued in industrial biotechnology. Here, we describe an elegant strategy of combining the rationally designed liquid-solid hybrid microreactor with a tailor-made polyethylene glycol functional ionic liquid (PEG-IL) microenvironment to exercise a high level of control over the configuration of enzymes for practical continuous-flow biocatalysis. As exemplified by a lipase driven kinetic resolution reaction, the obtained system exhibits a 2.
