Judy Dayhoff and Stuart Hameroff have been looking at the configurational
variants of tubulin and speculate they can build a Turing Machine using
microtubule/MT-associated protein networks. They're motivated in this by
the evidence for learning in Paramecia, which seems to be associated with
the microtubule cytoskeleton. 

So your speculation may not be that far away from the truth.
