LKT:
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. Why did you highlight His which is not hydrophobic?

Haemoglobin (Hb) is an iron Fe chelate tightly binding one Fe ion in its II oxidation state where it carries the charge 2+(ferrous ion). If no oxygen molecule is bound it is called deoxyhaemoglobin.Deoxyhaemoglobin is a tetramer of two α and two β chains.  
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 an ampipathic surface.  The
<scene name='Sandbox4/Polar_helix/1'>polar</scene> chain of HIS is highlighted in blue.  The <scene name='Sandbox4/Nonpolar_side/1'>nonpolar</scene> chain of PHE is highlighted in green.


This shows the <scene name='Sandbox4/Heme_group/3'>Heme group</scene> of deoxyhaemoglobin.
