Abstract
Having worked for 55 years in the center and at the fringe of bioenergetics, my major research stations are reviewed in the following wanderings: from microsomes to mitochondria, from NAD to CoQ, from reversed electron transport to reversed oxidative phosphorylation, from mitochondrial hydrogen transfer to phosphate transfer pathways, from endogenous nucleotides to mitochondrial compartmentation, from transport to mechanism, from carrier to structure, from coupling by AAC to uncoupling by UCP, and from specific to general transport laws. These wanderings are recalled with varying emphasis paid to the covered science stations.
