The low thermal conductivity of the prototype hydrogen storage adsorbent, metal-organic framework 5 (MOF-5), can limit performance in applications requiring rapid gas uptake and release, such as in hydrogen storage for fuel cell vehicles. As a means to improve thermal conductivity, we have synthesized MOF-5-based composites containing 1e10 wt.% of expanded natural graphite (ENG) and evaluated t...

In the present study, a nanoporous metal organic framework (MOF) based on iron metal and amino terephthalate ligand MIL-101-NH2-Fe has been used as a carrier for loading and in vitro release of 5-flurouracil (5-FU) anticancer drug. The 5-FU drug loaded MOF was 13 wt % by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The 5-FU release was monitored under physiological condition at 37°C, pH 7.4 in simul...

The construction of efficient enzyme mimetics for the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins is challenging due to the high stability of peptide bonds and the importance of proteases in biology and industry. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) consisting of infinite crystalline lattices with metal clusters and organic linkers may provide opportunities for protease mimic which has remained unknown....

The MYST family of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) plays critical roles in diverse cellular processes, such as the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Lysine autoacetylation of the MYST HATs has received considerable attention recently. Nonetheless, the mechanism and function of the autoacetylation process are not well defined. To better understand the biochemical mechanism of MYST auto...

We review the central concepts required from a project and configuration management system for MOF-based models. The necessary features for a model repository and MOF framework are given, as well as suggestions of several algorithms and components.

Photodetectors operating in the shortwave infrared region are of great significance due to their extensive applications both commercial and military fields. Narrowbandgap two-dimensional layered materials (2DLMs) considered as promising candidates for constructing next-generation high-performance photodetectors. Nevertheless, performance 2DLMs-based photodetectors can hardly satisfy requirement...

MOFs have attracted widespread attention in the field of catalytic ethylene dimerization. Compared with post-synthetic modification, ion exchange and other methods to introduce external active centers, direct use MOF materials as catalysts is still most convenient prospective. Herein, NiBTCs are synthesized using a one-pot method two kinds solvent characterized by XRD, FT–IR, ICP–OES, XPS, TGA ...
