Abstract: In this paper, the binding site of Cd2+ at the purine ring of ATPwas studied by using NMRtechnique.The changes of :H, 15Nand 31Pchemical shifts and 31P-31Pcoupling constants due to the presence of Cd2+ and the change of 113Cd chemical shift due to the presence of ATPin a wide pHrange are measured.It is found that, when pH>4.5, ATPchelates Cd2+ with its phosphate and N7; at pH 2.5—4.5, ATP binding sites are mainly phosphate and Nl, but phosphate/N7 mode still exists; when pHis very low (pH<2.5), ATPdoes not interact with Cd2+.

Key words: ATP-Cd2+ complex, pH, Chemical shift, Binding site
