The next step would be to compute this model directly from a multiple comparison of the 9 whole globin structures, and add to the model chemical statistics in addition to geometric ones.
This would allow the creation of a 3D motifs database, which would be a powerful tool for the study of protein functions. One could also think of using the information of this database to help with the structure prediction and the docking problems.
