The interaction of adenosine triphosphate with divalent metal ions is important in biochemical functions. The effects of pH and metal ions Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, and Co2+ on the chemical shift of the phosphate group of ATP have been studied using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. The chemical shift of the β-phosphate of ATP is the most sensitive to pH. Ca2+ and Mg2+ bind with the α- and β-phosphate groups of ATP. Zn2+ binds to the adenosine ring hydrogen as well as to phosphate. The paramagnetic ions Mn2+ and Co2+ do not cause chemical shifts of the phosphate or proton peak. Mn2+ and Co2+ broaden the resonance peak only.
