True regarding conversion of deoxyhemoglobin to oxyhemoglobin is

Binding of O2 causes release of H+

One mole of deoxyhemoglobin binds two moles of 2,3 DPG

pH of blood has no affect on the binding of O2

Binding of O2 causes increased binding 2.3,DPG

High-Yield Explanation

When O2 binds to Hb, then the H+ is released. One mole of 2,3 DPG binds to one mole of deoxyhemoglobin. O2 carrying capacity of Hb is affected by the change in pH. When O2 is bound to hemoglobin, 2,3 DPG does not bind to Hb.
