Our findings demonstrate that the effect of DMSO on protease catalysis exhibited a dual behavior, with activity enhancement observed at lower solvent concentrations (up to 20% v/v), as revealed by activity measurements, while kinetic analyses performed at higher DMSO concentrations (≥30% v/v) indicated simple uncompetitive inhibition, as evidenced by Lineweaver–Burk and secondary plot analyses. Activation free energies (ΔG<sup>#</sup>) and catalytic efficiencies were quantitatively correlated with solvatochromic scales, identifying π* as the most relevant descriptor under activating conditions. These results advance molecular-level understanding of enzyme behavior in nonconventional media and provide practical guidelines for solvent selection in chemo-enzymatic catalysis. Solvent polarity, assessed via log <i>P</i> values, revealed a direct correlation with enzyme activity, where solvents with log <i>P</i> between 1.5 and 3.0 favored higher catalytic efficiency.
