None - the Shuttles are orbital spacecraft only, and are not designed nor have the fuel necessary to complete a round-trip journey to the Moon.
To explain, the Saturn V rocket that launched the Apollo missions to the Moon was an extremely powerful booster, designed to propel a spacecraft past the gravitational influence of the Earth towards the Moon. By comparison, the Shuttle's main engines, external tank and SRB's are only designed to lift it into Earth orbit. The Shuttle is a much heavier craft than the Apollo Command and Lunar Modules ever were, and as such would require a lot more power to send it to the Moon. It's not designed for that.
