binding: Binding of antibiotics
Description
When an antibiotic is injected into the bloodstream, a certain part of it will
bind to serum protein. This binding reduces the medical effect. As part of a
larger study, the binding rate was measured for 12 cows which were given one of
three types of antibiotics: chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and tetracyclinesource
