{Abstract}: A homologous pair of stereospecific NAD-dependent enzymes, (R)- and (S)-hydroxypropyl-coenzyme M dehydrogenase, are part of a bacterial pathway of short-chain alkene and epoxide metabolism. Their discovery and study, which spans multiple publications over more than a decade, is a data rich story that combines both classical and contemporary experimental biochemistry. A subset of the data for characterization of the recombinant enzymes was used as a case study to augment the teaching of enzyme kinetics and stereoselectivity in an undergraduate biochemistry course at California State University-Chico. © 2018 International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 47(2): 124-132, 2019.
