An enzyme-polymer conjugate shows increased activity and molecular dissolution in non-aqueous solvents enabling enzyme mediated catalysis in non-aqueous solutions. The inventions described in this specification relate to enzyme-polymer conjugates, organic solutions comprising enzyme-polymer conjugates, methods of dissolving enzyme-polymer conjugates in organic solvents, and methods of using enzyme-polymer conjugates, for example, in catalysis applications. The inventions described in this specification address the problems of insolubility and decreased activity of enzymes in non-aqueous solutions comprising, for example, organic solvents or ionic liquids. |
