Confining enzymes in well-shaped MOF compartments is a promising approach to mimic the cellular environment of enzymes and determine enzyme structure-function relationship therein. Under the cellular crowding, however, enzymes can also be confined in unstructured spaces that are close to the shapes/outlines of the enzyme. Therefore, for a better understanding of enzymes in their physiological environments, it is necessary to study enzymes in these unstructured spaces. However, practically it is challenging to create compartments that are close to the outline of an enzyme and probe enzyme structural information therein. Here, for proof-of-principle, we confined a model enzyme, lysozyme, in the crystal defects of a MOF via co-crystallization, where lysozyme served as the nuclei for MOF crystal scaffolds to grow on so that unstructured spaces close to the outline of lysozyme are created, and determined enzyme relative orientation and dynamics. This effort is important for understanding enzymes in near-native environments and guiding the rational design of biocatalysts that mimic how nature confines enzymes.
