Dear gmxions,
The protein, which I am going to simulate, is a dimer, but my study
through MD is not related of dimer interaction but its catalytic
activity. So my question is can I simulate a unit of the dimer? Will
that system be physically right to simulate? The individual unit of the
dimer is performing the same catalytic activity but act individually.
Your thought for this question would be very useful for me.
With thanks!

It depends, the dimer may give stability that is necessary for
catalysis. To be on the safe side use the dimer. It will also give you
twice the statistics for your analysis. If you'd use the monomer a
referee will ask you whether that is justified as well.
