Even under heated conditions , the nearly native conformation and activity of a protein can be hoarded in a functionalized nanoporous support via non‐covalent interaction. Surprisingly, the protein released from the heated protein–nanoporous composite can maintain its nearly native conformation and activity, while free proteins are permanently denatured under the same treatment.
