Surely the properties of ATP have been studied for some time.  I've been told
that ATP is not stable at room temperature over long periods of time (not sure
the half-life).  Im curious as to where I could find a reference which studies
the thermal stability of ATP in the presence of Mg or Ca or whatever.. It seems
like an easy question.. Someone must know the answer :)
