Abstract

Immobilization of biomolecules into porous materials could lead to enhanced performance in terms of stability and easier separation for their reuse. Here authors gain insights into the spatial arrangement of green fluorescent protein entrapped in a mesoporous MOF by situ small-angle neutron scattering.
