Potential5
The electrical membrane potential ( V m ) is one of the components of the electrochemical potential of protons across the biological membrane (proton motive force), which powers many vital cellular processes, and V m also plays a role in signal transduction. (biorxiv.org)
Measuring this electrical potential, also referred to as membrane voltage, is therefore of great interest and a variety of techniques have been employed for the purpose, starting as early as the 1930s. (biorxiv.org)
Membrane potential stands at the basis of fundamental biological processes, such as signal transduction and energy production [ Del Castillo and Katz, 1954 , Mitchell, 1961 ]. (biorxiv.org)
For the latter, V m adds up to the chemical potential of protons, arising from their concentration difference across the membrane, to result in the proton electrochemical gradient, so called proton motive force (PMF). (biorxiv.org)
