Dictionary » P » Proton gradient Proton gradientProton gradient in biology, the proton gradient may be used as an intermediate energy source for heat and flagellar rotation. It results from the higher concentration of protons outside the inner membrane of the mitochondria than inside the membrane, and becomes the driving force behind atp synthesis/hydrolysis. ![]()

Oxidative Phosphorylation... the complexes, each time the energy drops for the electron, it powers a proton pump. I think the confusion is that the protons from NADH are NOT related to the protons that form the proton gradient for the atp synthase pump.
