- In addition to O, binding, changes in other chemical conditions can result in hemoglobin changes. pH is one of those factors. It can be understood by reaction #1. Red blood cells have the enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase which catalyzes reaction #2. Using the two reactions explain how pH contributes to the transfer of O2 from the lungs to the tissues.
