Abstract
A high energy conformation, in which the adenine moiety of adenosine 2′-phosphate occupies a C-1′-axial ribofuranosyl position, is stabilised through the chelation of a second (additional) Mg2+ ion by the 2′-and furanose ring O-atoms; with inositol 1-phosphate as the substrate, the 1- and 6-O-atoms chelate the second Mg2+ ion and for both substrates a different (buried) Mg2+ ion interacts directly with the phosphate moiety.
