Nope
Actually an image like that is all over the places.
I am making my own stuff. Actually I am almost there.
I am modeling a red blood cells with
some missing links (helices) between the lipids (spheres).
here what i am working on.
yellow are the headgroups.
red is the aliphatic tail
the blue is water between two bilayers.
Now I have to draw helices between almost half of the top
spheres, because as I said it is a blood cell with missing links

cheers
