In chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology, a dissociation constant is a specific type of equilibrium constant that measures the propensity of a larger object to separate ( dissociate ) reversibly into smaller components, as when a complex falls apart into its component molecules, or when a salt splits up into its component ions.

One reason for the popularity of the dissociation constant in biochemistry and pharmacology is that in the frequently encountered case where x = y = 1, K < sub > d </ sub > has a simple physical interpretation: when = K < sub > d </ sub >, = or equivalently /(+)= 1 / 2.
