We develop a new concept to impart new functions to biocatalysts by combining enzymes
and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The proof-of-concept design is demonstrated by
embedding catalase molecules into uniformly sized ZIF-90 crystals via a de novo approach.
We have carried out electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, nitrogen sorption,
electrophoresis, thermogravimetric analysis, and confocal microscopy to confirm that the∼

We develop a new concept to impart new functions to biocatalysts by combining enzymes and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The proof-of-concept design is demonstrated by embedding catalase molecules into uniformly sized ZIF-90 crystals via a de novo approach. We have carried out electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, nitrogen sorption, electrophoresis, thermogravimetric analysis, and confocal microscopy to confirm that the ∼10 nm catalase molecules are embedded in 2 μm single-crystalline ZIF-90 crystals with ∼5 wt % loading. Because catalase is immobilized and sheltered by the ZIF-90 crystals, the composites show activity in hydrogen peroxide degradation even in the presence of protease proteinase K.
