We have used Gerard Kleywegt's SPASM with great success in the search for
similar metal-binding sites. I don't know how this program would react to a
non-protein moiety, but I don't think it should pose any problems. Just supply
the coordinates of your ATP to the program and it'll conduct a search of the
entire data base.
But please consult http://alpha2.bmc.uu.se/~gerard/usf/spasm.html or J. Mol.
Biol. (1999), 285, 1887-1897 for more information.
Good searching...
