Interaction between the receptor and ligand induces a couple of proteolytic cleavages causing the release of the intracellular domain part of the receptor from the cell membrane. This interaction is mediated by consecutive enzymatic reactions. The intracellular domain then translocates to the nucleus part of the cell and forms a complex with a protein called RBPJ. This reaction leads to displacement of a histone deacetylase-co-compressor complex from the RBPJ protein molecule and then inclusion

Plant, the synthesis of alkaloids in a particular species of the Solanaceae family was compared with the biochemical synthesis of cocaine in the coca plant (Secrets of Natural Cocaine Production Revealed, 2012). The plant known as belladonna, which belongs to the Solanaceae family, produces the tropane alkaloid known as atropine, and the synthesis of this alkaloid was compared with that of cocaine in the coca plant. Although the biochemical pathway and mechanism involved in the synthesis of

It is suggested that CoA thioester bond with Succinyl CoA is usually broken down when the orthophosphate bonds with Succinyl CoA thus resulting in Succinyl phosphate. The alpha histidine residue then removes the phosphate group, the phosphor-histidine group then moves to the beta group where the ADP is bound sometimes GDP as shown in the equation below and forms ATP sometimes GTP.
