Kenneth D. Karlin was born on October 30, 1948, in Pasadena, California,[1] a professor of chemistry at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.[2] Research in his group focuses on coordination chemistry relevant to biological and environmental processes, involving copper or heme complexes.[3] Of particular interest are reactivities of such complexes with nitrogen oxides, O2, and the oxidation of substrates by the resultant compounds. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of the book series Progress in Inorganic Chemistry.[4]
