 Vanadyl ribonucleoside

Vanadyl ribonucleoside refers to a specific compound formed by the combination of vanadyl ions (vanadium in the +4 oxidation state) with ribonucleosides, which are nucleosides that contain ribose as their sugar component. Ribonucleosides are the building blocks of RNA and consist of a sugar (ribose) attached to a nitrogenous base (such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, or uracil).
