Hi,
If you are looking at binding/unbinding as a function of temperature
(hopefully with REMD), you can use g_kinetics. If you are looking at
unbinding/binding events in a single simulation with temperature, etc
constant (no annealing), you will need to calculate binding probabilities,
from which you can back out a rate constant. A simple google search gave me
these papers (http://www.pnas.org/content/90/20/9547.full.pdf,
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jp037422q)

Of course, the best approach is to calculate the PMF and back out the rate
constant from the free energy. Hope that helps.
