Construction of Thermophilic Lipase-Embedded Metal-Organic Frameworks via Biomimetic Mineralization: A Biocatalyst for Ester Hydrolysis and Kinetic Resolution.

Enhancing the activity and stability of enzymes and improving their reusability are critical challenges in the field of enzyme immobilization. Here we report a facile and efficient biomimetic mineralization to embed thermophilic lipase QLM in zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). Systematic characterization indicated that the entrapment of lipase molecules was successfully achieved during the crystal growth of ZIF-8 with an enzyme loading of ∼72.2 ± 1.88 mg/g lipase@ZIF-8, and the enzymes could facilitate the construction of framework building blocks. Then the composite lipase@ZIF-8 was observed to possess favorable catalytic activity and stability in the ester hydrolysis, using the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl caprylate as a model. Finally, the composite was successfully applied in the kinetic resolution of (R,S)-2-octanol, with favorable catalytic activity and enantioselectivity during 10 cycle reactions. Thus, the biomimetic mineralization process can be potentially used as an effective technique for realizing the entrapment of biomacromolecules and constructing efficient catalysts for industrial biocatalysis.
