Hi,

Yes, it is a pdb file that included coordinates for the membrane lipids.
The modeling of the membrane and the complex is described in
 
* Zhou, F. and Schulten K., Proteins: Structure, Function and Genetics,
  1996, 25, 12. (model of PLA2 - membrane complex)
  http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Publications/Papers/abstract.cgi?tbcode=ZHOU96

* Zhou, F. and Schulten K., J. Phys. Chem., 1995, 99, 2194
  (model of the membrane bilayer)

Sincerely,
