DE   L-glycol dehydrogenase.
CA   (1) an L-glycol + NADP(+) = a 2-hydroxycarbonyl + H(+) + NADPH.
CA   (2) an L-glycol + NAD(+) = a 2-hydroxycarbonyl + H(+) + NADH.
CC   -!- The 2-hydroxycarbonyl compound formed can be further oxidized to a
CC       vicinal dicarbonyl compound.
CC   -!- In the reverse direction, vicinal diketones, glyceraldehyde, glyoxal,
CC       methylglyoxal, 2-oxo-hydroxyketones and 2-ketoacid esters can be
CC       reduced.
