The other user who answered your mail is on the right track.

But I should also point out that a potential of mean force will not
give you a dissociation rate. It will give you an equilibrium
dissociation constant (or a dissociation free energy, which is
related). If you want a dissociation rate, you'll have to look
elsewhere (experiment?).
