Imagine that you were asked to denature a protein; you know you can do so using urea.  Your protein binds ATP (a nucleotide). You decide to add ATP to your denatured protein:urea mixture and then add water to dilute the urea and facilitate refolding of the protein.  How do you expect the addition of the ATP will affect the free energy of refolding?  Consider Gibbs free energy.
