Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor Moench) is the fifth most produced cereal worldwide. However, some varieties of this cereal contain antinutritional factors, such as tannins and phytate that may form stable complexes with proteins and minerals which decreases digestibility and nutritional value. The present study sought to diminish antinutritional tannins and phytate present in sorghum grains. Three di...

DNAtopoisomerases I and II are enzymes that alter DNA conformation through a concerted breaking and rejoining of DNAstrands1*. Recently topoisomerase II has been identified as the primary cellular target for a number of clinically important antitumor agents with diverse and unrelated chemical structures2'3*. These antitumor drugs, termed "topoisomerase II poisons" have the commonproperty of sta...
