Metal-organic frameworks: a novel host platform for enzymatic catalysis and detection

The use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as immobilization matrices for enzymes as a platform for emerging applications is reported. In addition to an overview of strategies developed to prepare enzyme-MOF biocomposites, the features that render MOFs interesting matrices for bio-immobilization are highlighted along with their potential benefits beyond a solid-state support in the design of innovative biocomposites.
