Abstract
The x-ray crystal structure of the serine protease subtilisin Carlsberg in anhydrous dioxane has been determined to 2.6-A resolution. The enzyme structure is found to be nearly indistinguishable from the structures previously determined in water and acetonitrile. Small changes in the side-chain conformations between the dioxane and water structures are of the same magnitude as those observed between two structures in different aqueous systems. Seven enzyme-bound dioxane molecules have been detected, each potentially forming at least one hydrogen bond with a subtilisin hydrogen-bond donor or bound water. Two of the bound dioxane molecules are in the active-site region, one in the P2 and another bridging the P1' and P3' pockets. The other five dioxane molecules are located on the surface of subtilisin at interprotein crystal contacts. The locations of the bound solvent in the dioxane structure are distinct from those in the structures in acetonitrile and in water.

Fig. 4. Active site of subtilisin Carlsberg in anhydrous dioxane compared with that in water (A) and acetonitrile (B). The catalytic^ triad, Asn-155 of the oxyanion hole (OH), and solvent molecules in the dioxane structure are shown as balls-and-sticks with carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen shown in white, light-gray, and black, respectively. The water molecules in the aqueous and acetonitrile structures are depicted as dark-gray balls in A and B. The acetonitrile molecules in that structure (B) are also shown as linear balls-and-sticks. The surface of the protein [Connolly algorithm (20)] in the^ active-site region in the dioxane structure is portrayed by black dots.
