Hello Saravanan

At 1.4 Angstrom resolution wouldn't that suggest that you've somehow got 
ATP in there ?  I don't think I understand the other option - were you 
proposing a ADP-O-C(O)2 arrangement to explain the density ?  Surely 
that has a rather different shape, considerably different scattering 
power at the center of the terminal group (C vs P) and probably 
different X-O bond lengths.  All of these should show in the density 
maps at 1.4 Å, although the bond length issue could be quite subtle.
