Does your overview of the structure convey the secondary elements? (ie 5 alpha helices and 2 beta strands)
It's alpha and beta SUBUNITS (2 of each). Say something about the secondary elements (ie 5 alpha helices and 2 beta strands)
I see problems with greek letters on the JMol, so best to write out alpha and beta.
I see problems with greek letters on the JMol, so best to write out alpha and beta. Why did you highlight His which is not hydrophobic?
Be sure you include your reference to your source.

Hemoglobin is an iron Fe chelate tightly binding one Fe where it carries a 2+ charge(ferrous ion). If no oxygen molecule is bound it is called deoxyheemoglobin. Deoxyhemoglobin is a tetramer of <scene name='Sandbox4/Alpha2beta2/3'>alpha and beta strands</scene>.  The <scene name='Sandbox4/Overall_structure/2'>Overall Structure</scene> is shown here. Deoxyhemoglobin contanis a <scene name='Sandbox4/Heme_group/3'>Heme group</scene>, as well as a <scene name='Sandbox4/Hydrophobic/7'>a Hydrophobic residue (HIST)</scene>(highlighted in green)
