Abstract excerpt

Enzymes may be redesigned to permit catalysis in non-aqueous solvents by engineering their amino acid sequences, thereby altering their physical and chemical properties to suit the new solvent environment. The interactions that contribute to protein stability in non-aqueous solvents are discussed...
