Karl Oberholser (1942-2013) was a Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Messiah College in Mechanicsburg PA USA from 1976-2010, and Professor Emeritus until his death from multiple myeloma in 2013. At Messiah, he created the Molecular Science Laboratory, a series of online molecular visualization tutorials designed for students. He authored many articles in Proteopedia (complete list), and in 2010 became a member of Proteopedia's Editorial Board.

Some particularly noteworthy articles in Proteopedia that were initially authored by Karl Oberholser include:
Protein Structure
Protein Families
Saccharides
Oberholser mentored his student Emily Forschler who, while an undergraduate, authored the article Photosystem_II.
Oberholser's article Ramachandran Plot was used to illustrate the power of Proteopedia in Figure 3 in a 2008 publication about Proteopedia[2].
