The Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials is known worldwide for using state-of-the-art scientific methods. Its publications are influential in the highest-quality periodicals, and are changing the way that academia and industry think about the use and potential of biorenewables in an environmentally sustainable world. One example of this work was recently published in Nature Chemical Biology (vol. 16, 920-929, 2020); in it, a team of researchers at the CNPEM revealed an impressive structural and functional relationship between GH124 enzymes and their action on linked beta-1,3- glucans (some of the most abundant polysaccharides).<\/p>\n

This study involved researchers from several different disciplines and can be described as a tour-de-force of the scientific method. In fact, it is a hallmark of how science is organized and conducted at the CNPEM, where the power of various groups is harnessed to face some of the most complex problems found in biology, especially those associated with greater use of biorenewables. In many ways, the working practices at the CNPEM point toward a future of scientific research and how it should be conducted so that humanity can successfully face some of the most challenging problems. In other words, the CNPEM is a global example of how we all should be conducting academic research.<\/p>\n
