    Abstract:
    Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for enzyme encapsulation-induced biomimetic mineralization under mild reaction conditions are commonly microporous and hydrophobic, which result in a rather high mass transfer resistance of the reactants and restrain the enzyme catalytic activity. Herein, we prepared a type of hierarchical porous and hydrophilic MOF through the biomimetic mineralization of enzymes, zinc ions, 2-methylimidazole, and lithocholic acid. The hierarchical porous structure accelerated the diffusion process of the reactants and the increased hydrophilicity conferred interfacial activity and increased the enzyme catalytic activity. The immobilized enzyme retained higher catalytic activity than the free enzyme and exhibited enhanced resistance to alkaline, organic, and high-temperature conditions. The nanobiocatalyst was reusable and showed long-term storage stability.
