  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Combining biocatalysis and chemocatalysis in one pot offers economic and environmental benefits for manufacturing.
  • Challenges include catalyst deactivation, mismatched reaction dynamics, and integrating incompatible chemo- and biocatalytic systems into concurrent cascades.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a strategy for constructing versatile functional metal-organic framework micro-nanoreactors (MOF-MNRs).
  • To enable the encapsulation and protection of biocatalysts.
  • To facilitate controllable substance transmission and communication between incompatible chemo- and biosystems.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of multifunctional metal-organic framework micro-nanoreactors (MOF-MNRs).
  • Encapsulation of biocatalysts within MOF-MNRs.
  • Surface enrichment and activity enhancement of chemocatalysts on MOF shells.

Main Results:

  • MOF-MNRs successfully encapsulated and protected biocatalysts.
  • Controllable substance transmission and chemo-biosystem communication were achieved.
  • Enriched chemocatalysts on MOF surfaces showed enhanced activity, matching biocatalyst requirements.
  • Significantly increased efficiency in combined concurrent chemo-biocatalysis.

Conclusions:

  • The developed MOF-MNR strategy provides a unique platform for integrating biocatalysis and chemocatalysis.
  • This approach overcomes the incompatibility challenges between the two systems.
  • It offers a promising avenue for efficient and sustainable manufacturing processes.
