Of the dehydrogenase reactions in glycolysis and the TCA cycle, allbut one use NAD+ as the electron acceptor. The loneexception is the succinate dehydrogenase reaction, which usescovalently bound FAD of a flavoprotein as the electron acceptor. The standard reduction potential for this bound FAD is in the range of 0.003 to 0.091 V . Compared with the other dehydrogenase reactions of glycolysis and the TCA cycle, what is unique about succinate dehydrogenase? Explain why is bound FAD a more suitable electronacceptor in this case?
