All the dehydrogenases of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle use NAD+ (E°' for NAD+/NADH is -0.32 V) as the electron acceptor, except succinate dehydrogenase, which uses covalently bound FAD (E°' for FAD/FADH2 is +0.050 V). Suggest why FAD is a more appropriate electron acceptor than NAD+ in the dehydrogenation of succinate, based on the E°' values of fumarate/succinate (E°' = +0.031 V)
