Summary Introduction

To review:

The chemical concentration difference and charge difference in proton potential along with the cellular reaction in the component of ∆p.

Introduction:

Proton motive force is the force that is generated by the electron transport chain which acts as a proton pump using the Gibbs free energy to pump the protons of redox reactions out across the membrane. The proton motive force ∆p drives many cellular processes.
