Ionic Liquids: Applications and Perspectives (2011, background): “When a certain amount of water is added into the non-aqueous enzymatic reaction system, some water is bound to the enzyme, and thereby has a large influence on the enzymatic activity, while the other amount of water is dissolved in the solvent (Klibanov, 2001).”
Microbial Enzymes: Tools for Biotechnological Processes (2014, background): “Application of enzymes in several industrial bioconversions has been broadened by the use of organic solvents replacing water [45,50], an important development in enzyme engineering.”
