    Background
    
    Under acid conditions, Tetracycycline undergoes a reversible epimerization at the fourth carbon, producing a mixture of tetracycline and 4-Epitetracycline. Tetracycline inhibits the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by disrupting codon-anticodon interactions at the ribosome, thus blocking protein synthesis. Specifically, Tetracycline binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocks the attachment of charged aminoacyl-tRNA to the A site on the ribosome, preventing peptide elongation.
