## Abstract We have explored the conformation‐dependent interaction energy of the triphosphate moiety, a key constituent of ATP and GTP, with a closed‐shell divalent cation, Zn^2+^, used as a probe. This was done using the SIBFA polarizable molecular mechanics procedure. We have resorted to a previ
