Question

You happen to take a swim in an ocean populated with stonefish or lionfish. These organisms are known to inject venom to their prey or when they are threatened. What will you do if you were exposed to its venom? How will you initially remove the venom to avoid serious reactions? (*note: our topic is about proteins)

Update:

i know that the venom is protein..but i want to know how you denature that type of protein..

? · Accepted Answer

Hint:  The venom is a protein.  Did your instructor bring up the term "denaturing" of proteins?  And what causes a protein to be denatured?
