In this study, we synthesized a novel biocatalyst by encapsulating lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the metal-organic framework ZIF-90 by one-pot embedding. It showed strong biological activity for efficient synthesis of D-phenyllactic acid (D-PLA). The morphology and structure of LDH@ZIF-90 was systematically characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and gas sorption. According to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the enzyme loading of the biocatalyst was 3 %. The Michaelis–Menten constant (Kₘ) and maximal reaction rate (Vₘₐₓ) of LDH@ZIF-90 were similar to those of free LDH, which proved that ZIF-90 had good biocompatibility to encapsulate LDH. At the same time, LDH@ZIF-90 exhibited enhanced tolerance to temperature, pH and organic solvents, and its reusability was greatly improved with 68 % of initial enzyme activity remaining after 7 rounds of recylcing. Overall, LDH encapsulated in ZIF-90 may be an economically competitive and environmentally friendly novel biocatalyst for the synthesis of D-PLA.
