I believe so. These are the values used to implement constant surface
tension for lipid bilayer simulations. Note that one component should be
"normal" to the interface while the other two will be transverse -- you
have to determine which is which for your system. Perhaps someone a bit
more knowledgeable in this area will chime in with more helpful advice.
