This is a different and more challenging way of reporting my research and I hope it will be useful to and target a wide-ranging audience. When preparing the manuscript and collecting references on the subject of this paper—aldehyde oxidoreductase from Desulfovibrio gigas—I felt like I was travelling back in time (and space), bringing together the people that have contributed most to this area of research. I sincerely hope that I can give my collaborators the credit they deserve. This study is not presented as a chronologic narrative but as a grouping of topics, the development of which occurred over many years.152525432engaldehyde oxidoreductasemolybdenum enzymessulfate-reducing bacteriaAnalytical ChemistryChemistry (miscellaneous)Molecular MedicinePharmaceutical ScienceDrug DiscoveryPhysical and Theoretical ChemistryOrganic Chemistryreview10.3390/molecules28104229https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85160375523
