Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymatic catalysis and dynamics in low-water environments.
TL;DR: Transesterification activity increases and then decreases with increasing enzyme hydration and flexibility (which are presumably coupled through dielectric screening), suggesting that the conformation of partially hydrated subtilisin is different from that of the nearly dry enzyme--i.e., enzyme containing less than 9% water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transition state stabilization of subtilisins in organic media.

TL;DR: The question of whether the rate of an enzymatic reaction proceeding through a charged transition state can be increased by increasing the active‐site polarity in an organic solvent is posed.
