DE   L-fucose dehydrogenase.
CA   beta-L-fucose + NADP(+) = H(+) + L-fucono-1,5-lactone + NADPH.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Burkholderia
CC       multivorans, participates in an L-fucose degradation pathway.
CC   -!- The enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of beta-L-fucopyranose to
CC       L-fucono-1,5-lactone, which is unstable and is rapidly converted to
CC       L-fucono-1,4-lactone.
CC   -!- The alpha anomer is not recognized.
CC   -!- The enzyme can also act on beta-L-galactopyranose and D-arabinose
CC       with lower activity.
CC   -!- NADP(+) is a better cosubstrate than NAD(+).
