Abstract
In both model and biological membranes, measurements of proton-hydroxide flux produce permeability coefficients that are orders of magnitude greater than those obtained with other monovalent ions. As a working hypothesis, we suggest that this large variance can be explained by the flux of protons along hydrogenbonded strands of associated water or protein in the hydrophobic plane of the membrane.
