Abstract
The influence of membrane potentials on the rates of reactions involving the translocation of charged species across the membrane has been studied. Depending on the location of the rate-limiting step relative to the potential gradient either the forward or the backward rate is most strongly influenced by the potential. The rate of a proton translocation process in general is thus not a unique function of the protonmotive force. It is essential to include an explicit potential dependence in the kinetic coefficients to obtain a realistic description of the dynamics.Mesh：
