Given the unique properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) including adjustable porosity, high surface area, and easy modification, they have attracted great attention as excellent solid supports for the incorporation of biomolecules. The formed biomolecules-MOFs composites show promising prospects in various fields such as biocatalysis, drug delivery, and biosensing. This review focuses on the state-of-the-art of biomolecules-incorporation using MOFs. Moreover, the relationship between properties of MOFs and biomolecules-incorporation is also discussed and highlighted. We hope this work will inspire the innovation in this emerging field for highly efficient synthesis of biomolecules-MOFs composites with various properties and advanced applications.
