Solid proteins immersed in organic solvents represent one class of enzymatic formulations in which structure, properties, and functionality of enzymes may be drastically changed by an organic solvent. Considering the variety of opportunities in use of different nonaqueous media, correct selection of organic environments presents a great challenge to biotechnological scientists and engineers. Such a selection needs the understanding of molecular mechanisms governing the interactions of proteins in nonaqueous media. This understanding should help also in elucidating the mechanisms controlling the conformational stability of the protein macromolecules, protein aggregation in solid state, aging of the protein preparation, and solubility of proteins in nonaqueous media.
