Development of Metal-organic Frameworks or Metal-oxide cluster for (bio) catalytic applications KU Leuven
Researchers have developed a novel generation of nanozymes with proteolytic activity by preparing discrete Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs based on Zr6O8 metal clusters have highly porous structures and Lewis acidity and can be used for the selective hydrolysis of peptides and proteins under mild conditions. Due to their heterogeneous character the MOF catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and recycled without ...
