In this chapter, we review the available experimental data and molecular models describing the effect of different solvents, including water, on the catalytic activity of enzymes. While a popular picture suggests that water acts as a lubricant of the protein conformational motions required for catalysis, we show that this dynamical picture is not supported by recent results and we discuss alternative models.
