Protons are shuttled across the inner membrane and into the inter-membrane space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. Their buildup in the inter-membrane space creates a proton potential. Cristae are formed by folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane.

1 is inner mitochondrial membrane, 2 is outer mitochondrial membrane, 4 is matrix and 3 is is inter membrane space where protons build up.
