insoluble Myoglobin is a globular protein that is compact and spherical in shape with Rgroups nonpolar on the surface to make it in water. Silk and wool are fibrous proteins of pleated polar sheets with many R groups that make them in water. Therefore, myoglobulin is more soluble in water than silk or wool. soluble
