Fungi cellulases are used to degrade cellulose-containing biomass for bioethanol production. Industrial cellulases such as Cel7A from Trichoderma reesei (TrCel7A) are critical in this process. Thus, the understanding of structure and dynamics is crucial for engineering variants with improved cellulolytic activity.

Carlos Eduardo Pena's research primarily focuses on the structural and dynamic characterization of cellulases, particularly the Cel7A enzyme from Trichoderma reesei, which is essential for bioethanol production from biomass.
His study on glycosylation effects aims to understand how post-translational modifications influence the enzyme's functionality, providing insights that could enhance cellulolytic efficiency.
By unraveling the structural and dynamic aspects of these enzymes, his work contributes significantly to the field of bioengineering and the development of more effective cellulase variants for industrial applications.
