Interpretation:

The reason for the given behavior of light-driven conformation that changes promote transmembrane proton transport is to be stated. The way by which a conformation change facilitates the proton transport in molecular terms is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The process of transferring the protons against thermodynamic potential by the action of light is known as proton transfer that is caused by light.

Bacteriorhodopsin is known light-driven ion-pumping rhodopsins. The transfer of proton from the intracellular region to extracellular region takes place with the help of bacteriorhodopsin.
