Unbind
Definition:
(v. t.) To remove a band from; to set free from shackles or fastenings; to unite; to unfasten; to loose; as, unbind your fillets; to unbind a prisoner's arms; to unbind a load.
Example Sentences:
(1) Thus, although the fast sodium inactivation process is not required for tonic and use-dependent block of INa by disopyramide, it contributes to the fast phase of block development and unbinding from use-dependent block.
(2) Two calcium antagonistic drugs, nifedipine and mesudipine, were investigated and as a result averaged rate constants of binding and unbinding were evaluated.
(3) Physical theories have been developed to describe many aspects of their conformational behaviour, such as the preferred shapes and shape transformations of closed vesicles, and the shape fluctuations, random-surface configurations, and adhesion and unbinding of interacting membranes.

(5) Sanguinarine may produce a K+-like effect upon the Na pump with consequent unbinding of ouabain.
(6) The rate constants for binding and unbinding of ATP were estimated from the dependence of the mean open time on [ATP] and from the Ki.
(7) The rate for unbinding during depolarization was independent of pHo.
(8) We suggest that these conformational changes arise from the unbinding to DNA of certain basic tails of histone(s), and that a competition for DNA binding locations exists upon the reassociation.
(9) These findings suggest than AN-132 has use dependent inhibitory action on the fast sodium channel by binding to the channel mainly during its activated state and that the unbinding rate of the drug during diastole is very slow.
