Metal-organic frameworks functionalized with nucleic acids and amino acids for structure- and function-specific applications: A tutorial review

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be well-designed and constructed for various applications in gas storage and separation, heterogeneous catalysis, chemical sensing, and water remediation. To extend their applications in bio-related fields, the functionalization of MOFs with biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, peptides, enzymes, and others have been carried out, which improved the bioactivity and biocompatibility of MOF-biomolecule hybrid...
