Klaus H. Hofmann (February 21, 1911 – December 25, 1995) was an American biological chemist and medical researcher. The New York Times called Hofmann an "expert on synthesis of body compounds". His career was highlighted by synthesis of a prototype birth control pill, isolation and structural characterization of biotin (vitamin H), determination of the lysine specificity of the pancreatic protease trypsin (an attribute that made it the enzyme of first choice in protein sequence determinations), the first chemical synthesis of a fully biologically-active portion of the peptide hormone (adrenocorticotopic hormone - ACTH), and structure-function studies on ribonuclease (RNase).
