Shifting of oxygen dissociation curve towards right
side shows higher rate of dissociation of
oxyhaemoglobin. Which of the following is not a
favourable factor for dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin
to release O2 in tissues?
(1) High pCO2 and H+ concentration
(2) Low pH and high pCO2
(3) High body temperature and concentration of
DPG
(4) High pH and low concentration of DPG

The correct option is 4.
High pH and low concentration of DPG do not favour the shifting of oxygen dissociation curve towards right.
