text It is generally assumed that tetracycline antibiotics bind to the 16S rRNA part of the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, inhibiting protein synthesis, probably by inhibiting the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome. However, alternative hypotheses were not refuted, and the situation is still unclear (Anokhina et al., 2004; reviewed in Chukwudi, 2016; Chopra & Roberts, 2001).
