water-immiscible organic solvents as in the dry powder, but the half-life of dilute solutions is very short [64]. Subtilisin crystals
placed in acetonitrile have the same crystal structure as does subtilisin crystallized from aqueous solutions [41]. Enzymes do not
turn inside-out when placed in immiscible organic solvents.
The stability and catalytic activity of enzymes in water/water-miscible organic solvent systems are different from those in waterimmiscible
organic solvent systems. Kang et al. [55–57] showed that protease-catalyzed hydrolysis of casein, in either 5%
ethanol/95%
aqueous buffer or 5% acetonitrile/95% aqueous buffer systems, caused an increase in
K
m,
a decrease in
V
max,
and
a
decrease in stability (determined by circular dichroism and differential scanning calorimetry methods) compared to controls in
aqueous
buffer only. It is well known that protic solvents, such as alcohols and amines, compete with water in hydrolytic enzyme
reactions
[5, 9].
7.5.6 Why Enzymes are Effective Catalysts
Enzymes are very effective catalysts as indicated by their ability to lower the activation energy,
E
a, of reactions (Table 2). This
results in larger values of
n
o. But these facts provide no indication of how the enzymes achieve such “magic.” Be assured that
enzymes act by the same principles of all chemical reactions. They just do it better [67].
Listed in Table 11 are the factors that account for the catalytic efficiency of enzymes. Not all enzymes use all possibilities listed,
but all enzymes do bind substrates stereospecifically into the active site where essential groups (side chain of specific amino acids
or required cofactors) perform from the reaction chemistry either by general acid-general base or nucleophilic-electrophilic
processes. It is apparent that the most impressive enhancement of the rate is due to formation of the enzyme-substrate complex,
where the rate enhancement is on the order of 10

for a two-substrate reaction, 10

(or
more) for a four-substrate reaction.
The seven factors listed in Table 11 can account for 10
