β¦ Synopsis
The interactions of tetracycline with model clay adsorbents has been studied as a function of suspension pH, ionic strength, and adsorbate concentration. The model clay adsorbents were the Na, Ca, and dodecyltrimethylammonium forms of bentonite and a tannic acid covered bentonite. The adsorption isotherms were of the Langmuir type and the adsorption capacity decreases in the order tannic acid-clay > Ca-clay > Na-clay > dodecyltrimethylamrnonium-clay. The adsorption onto the clay substrates decreases as the ionic strength and pH increases.

## Abstract Tetracyclines (Tcs) are an important family of antibiotics that bind to the ribosome and several proteins. To model Tc interactions with protein and RNA, we have developed a molecular mechanics force field for 12 tetracyclines, consistent with the CHARMM force field. We considered each
