I guess what Dean wanted to say is, if you put 18 ligands (2.99E-23 mol)
into a 6nm^3 box (2.16E-22 l), then your ligand concentration will be 138
mM, not 20 mM, so I guess no, what you say is not a good way to set up a
low concentration simulation.
As other people have suggested before, it may be a good idea to go back to
the experimental data you have and check where the number of 18 ligands
comes from. It would be highly unusual for a protein to stochiometrically
bind 18 ligands, so if this really is the process you want to simulate, it
would be something of a novel project...
