V10 interacts with G-actin (at its ATP binding site), a V−SCys coordination having been verified along with oxidovanadium formation. V10’s interplay with F-actin was found to be weak and occur via a different mechanism. These results are relevant for understanding V10’s biological roles, at a molecular level, aiming at potential pharmacological applications.engDecavanadateActinjournal article10.1021/acs.inorgchem.7b01018
