DE   L-arabinose 1-dehydrogenase [NAD(P)(+)].
AN   L-arabino-aldose dehydrogenase.
CA   (1) alpha-L-arabinopyanose + NAD(+) = L-arabinono-1,4-lactone + NADH +
CA   H(+).
CA   (2) alpha-L-arabinopyanose + NADP(+) = L-arabinono-1,4-lactone + NADPH +
CA   H(+).
CC   -!- The enzymes from the bacterium Azospirillum brasilense and the
CC       archaeon Haloferax volcanii are part of the L-arabinose degradation
CC       pathway and prefer NADP(+) over NAD(+).
CC   -!- In vitro the enzyme from Azospirillum brasilense shows also high
CC       catalytic efficiency with D-galactose.
CC   -!- The enzyme is specific for alpha-L-arabinopyranose.
