In addition to long-term interests in solvents water effects on protein structure and behavior, Professor Klotz devoted substantial efforts to investigations of ligand-receptor interactions, structure and function of nonheme oxygen-carrying proteins, chemical modifications of proteins, and the construction of polymers with enzyme-like catalytic properties. He worked later to clarify some of the interpenetrations of science and the humanities.
