Recent years have witnessed the exploration and synthesis of an increasing number metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The utilization stable MOFs as a platform for catalysis biomimetics is discussed. This Feature Article will provide insights into rational design three types MOF catalysts on basis structural features MOFs, that is, (i) with catalytic sites metal nodes, (ii) immobilized in organic struts, (iii) centres encapsulated pores. Then, used including biomimetic mineralization, biosensors replication are introduced. Finally, discussion challenges must be addressed successful implementation presented.
