My guess would be that this particular lipid is probably bound very tightly to 
some protein residue, which leads to the protein and lipid both contributing to 
the lateral area in that region.  In this case, the protein contributes more 
area than the lipid does.  You should look at the coordinate file and see what 
this residue is doing.

That's good news.  It's always alarming to hear someone say that your work may 
not be reliable when you've done lots of work to ensure that it is ;)
