Owing to the vast diversity of linkers, nodes, and topologies, metal–organic frameworks can
be tailored for specific tasks, such as chemical separations or catalysis. Accordingly, these …

In this review, we have portrayed the structure, synthesis and applications of a variety of
biomimetic MOFs from an unprecedented angle. Synthetic MOF analogues of five distinct …

Organophoshorus nerve agents are among the most toxic chemicals known to humans, and
because of their unfortunate recent use despite international bans, there is an urgent need …

Acetylcholinesterase is involved in the termination of impulse transmission by rapid
hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in numerous cholinergic pathways in the …

The benefits of global pesticide use come at the cost of their widespread occurrence in the
environment. An array of abiotic and biotic transformations effectively removes pesticides …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with Lewis acid catalytic sites, such as zirconium‐based
MOFs (Zr‐MOFs), comprise a growing class of phosphatase‐like nanozymes that can …

A nerve‐agent simulant based on a phosphate ester is hydrolyzed using a MOF‐based
catalyst. Suspensions of MOF‐808 (6‐connected), a material featuring 6‐connected …

Unculturable bacterial communities provide a rich source of biocatalysts, but their
experimental discovery by functional metagenomics is difficult, because the odds are …

Since sulfur mustard was first used in World War I, significant efforts have been made in
materials and methods development for the adsorption and detoxification of different classes …

Two decades ago, theoretical model calculations played a truly minor role in understanding
mechanisms of redox-active metalloenzymes. The methods available to treat transition …
