mobile proton models

Mobile proton models describe how protons move and transfer within a molecule or a medium, often in chemical or biological contexts. Instead of protons being fixed in one place, these models consider them as "mobile," capable of shifting locations, hopping between different sites or regions. This movement influences processes like energy transfer, chemical reactions, or conductivity. The models help scientists understand how protons can rapidly and efficiently move, which is essential in systems such as fuel cells, biological enzymes, or acids, affecting their overall behavior and performance.
