Unbinding
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Unbind
Example Sentences:

(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.
