The proton-motive force is the potential energy stored in an electrochemical gradient, generated by the pumping of hydrogen ions across a biological membrane during chemiosmosis.
La fuerza protón-motriz es la energía potencial almacenada en un gradiente electroquímico, generada por el bombeo de iones de hidrógeno a través de una membrana biológica durante la quimiosmosis.
