What is the difference between organelle membranes?

Question

Cells and organelles are contained in [lipid bilayers](http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Structural_Biochemistry/Lipids/Lipid_Bilayer). I'm particularly interested in eukaryotic organelle bilayers and the biophysicochemical differences between them. Many papers *assume* a difference in membrane characteristics and some like [Anderson *et al.,* 2007](http://arjournals.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.1146/annurev.biophys.36.040306.132643?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%3dpubmed) have categorised the relationship between these characteristics and protein function in depth.Do any reviews or comprehensive studies exist in the field that compare the thickness of the membrane, the rigidity of the surface, any differences in lipid entropy, or the overall charge inside and outside across **different types of organelle membranes**?

Answer 1

As far as a comprehensive study, I have not been able to find one. However, with several hours of research, one could compile this comprehensive study. The other issue that I could see you would run into is that several of these properties would be difficult to gather from each organelles. The research studies would run into how to differentiate one organelle from another. As of now, I do not know if there is a way researchers could accurately determine this information.
