Article Synopsis
- Using enzymes instead of rare metals to generate hydrogen is a promising area in biochemistry, focusing on sustainability with hydrogen production.
- The oxygen sensitivity of the fastest hydrogen-generating enzymes (like [FeFe]hydrogenases) limits their use, leading researchers to explore slower but more robust [NiFe] enzymes.
- Recent studies have identified clostridial enzymes that can withstand oxygen damage, opening up new applications in biofuels and biotechnology, as well as potential improvements through engineered variants for better performance.
Previous research has shown that girls/women are diagnosed later than boys/men with autism. Individuals who are diagnosed later in life, especially girls/women, have greater anxious and depressive symptoms. Previous research has been limited due to narrow inclusionary criteria for enrollment in studies.

Methods: This study used quantitative and qualitative survey data from parents in Qatar (n=271), to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on autistic children and their families in Qatar. The questionnaire was a combination of open-ended (qualitative) and closed-ended (quantitative) questions to explore patterns in the experiences of the different families, as well as to contrive themes.
