Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing Metal Organic Framework (MOF) having a framework that encapsulates a bio-molecule, the method comprising combining in a solution the bio-molecule and MOF precursors, wherein the bio-molecule promotes formation of the encapsulating framework.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A crystalline Metal Organic framework (MOF) having a framework that defines intrinsic cavities and encapsulates a bio-molecule, wherein the framework-is formed around the bio-molecule, wherein the bio-molecule is a protein, a nucleic acid, an amino acid, or a combination thereof, wherein the biomolecule has a smallest dimension that is at least 1.5 times larger than the largest cavity diameter (LCD) of any intrinsic cavity of the framework, and wherein the bio-molecule sits within the MOF as a bioactive, heterogenous and discontinuous guest phase within a self-defined cavity. 2. The MOF according to claim 1 , wherein the bio-molecule is a protein which is an enzyme. 3. The MOF according to claim 1 , wherein the framework encapsulates from 1% wt to 32% wt bio-molecule relative to the weight of the MOF framework. 4. The MOF according to claim 1 , wherein the LCD is between 5 Å and 500 Å.
