Talk:Microtubular membrane

Biological vs non-biological membranes

@Lfstevens: Thanks for starting this intriguing article. One thing that caught my eye was the reference to biological microtubular membranes. I could be wrong, but from my quick checking, I think these would be more accurately described membrane associated microtubules. Cell membranes are composed of long chain fatty acids that form lipid bilayers. These lipid bilayers in turn interact with microtubules. I am not aware of any biological membrane where the membrane itself is composed of microtubules. In the case of the non-biological microtubular membranes, the membrane itself is compose of the microtubules, not associated with it. Including both biological and non-biological microtubular membranes in the same article is I think confusing. Thoughts? Boghog (talk) 09:52, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing. I will review further. One of my sources says that they are used in what it calls "chemical separation", but I haven't found more info on that so far. Lfstevens (talk) 04:55, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
