Who told you so?

Arginine has four (4!) basic groups (2x -NH2 and 2x =NH) and only one acidic (-COOH).

So only at pH=11.2 there is no net proton gain or loss when it is neutral. Above 11.2 it is negatively charged by loss of H+, below that it is positively charged by gain of one (or two) protons from water.

All this is regarded as 'proton transfer' or (auto)protolyse (zwittering)

Which molecules is most directly involved in the transfer of energy from food to the proton pumps?

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the molecule that is most directly involved in the transfer of energy from food to the proton pumps. ATP acts as the primary energy carrier in cells and is used to power various cellular processes, including the pumping of protons across membranes by proton pumps. This proton pumping generates a proton gradient, which is then utilized for the production of ATP.
