abstract = {In nature, enzymes conventionally operate under aqueous
conditions. Because of this, aqueous buffers are often the
choice for reaction media when enzymes are applied in
chemical synthesis. However, to meet the demands of an
industrial application, due to the poor water solubility of
many industrially relevant compounds, an aqueous reaction
system will often not be able to provide sufficient
substrate loadings. A switch to a non-aqueous solvent system
can provide a solution, which is already common for lipases,
but more challenging for biocatalysts from other enzyme
classes. The choices in solvent types and systems, however,
can be overwhelming. Furthermore, some engineering of the
protein structure of biocatalyst formulation is required. In
this review, a guide for those working with biocatalysts,
who look for a way to increase their reaction productivity,
is presented. Examples reported clearly show that bulk water
is not necessarily required for biocatalytic reactions and
that clever solvent systems design can support increased
product concentrations thereby decreasing waste formation.
Additionally, under these conditions, enzymes can also be
combined in cascades with other, water-sensitive, chemical
catalysts. Finally, we show that the application of
non-aqueous solvents in biocatalysis can actually lead to
more sustainable processes. At the hand of flowcharts,
following simple questions, one can quickly find what
solvent systems are viable},
