Explanation / Answer

Looking at the graph shown above,

as the amount of (NH4)2SO4 is increased in the solution, the ionic strength of the solution also goes up.

The protein that would be isolated at high (NH4)2SO4 concentration would be, fibrinogen, which elutes at relatively lower ionic strength of (NH4)2SO4.

The protein myoglobin (elutes at the end) sticks strongly and does not gets eluted until the concentration of (NH4)2SO4 in solution is very high and all the other proteins had been eluted already.
