I want to know the chemical composition for the venom of the Pacific man o' period of war jelly fish, common throughout the summer on Australia's east coast. The Portuguese man-o-war, Physalia physalis, inflicts extreme agony and causes several physiological effects, including paralysis and possible respiratory flop resulting in annihilation, although rare contained by humans. Its venom is also a protein, but it consists of huge amounts of glutamic acid, phopholipase A, and phospholipase B; and, it is a neurotoxin beside a possible direct myotoxic effect (Muscatine and Lenhoff 156)
Neurotoxin attacks the signalling mechanisms or the impertinence structure itself.
Myotoxic means that it attacks and degrade muscle tissue.
Glutamic acid is an acidified amino sour, phopholipase A and B are enzymes that cleave fatty acid residues. Hope this help.
far as i know i couldnt tell you
