  David Rittenberg, November 11, 1906 — January 24, 1970 | By David Shemin and Ronald Bentley | Biographical Memoirs
Rittenberg, one of Urey's graduate students, obtained a Ph.D. degree in 1934 for his 30-page thesis, "Some Equilibria Involving Isotopes of Hydrogen." Urey was anxious to promote the study of both chemical and biological properties of deuterium, and received funding from the Rockefeller Foundation.
The second elaboration was that Rittenberg, Shemin, and London began to study the synthesis of protoporphyrin in vitro using immature non-nucleated mammalian erythrocytes and the red blood cells of the duck.
David Sprinson worked with Rittenberg on ammonia utilization for protein synthesis and the rate of reaction of dietary amino acids with tissue proteins before going on to the major, independent study of the pathway for shikimic acid biosynthesis, for which he received much recognition.

In this article, David Shemin, who is now in retirement, describes how in 1944 he ingested 66 g of "N-labeled glycine in order to determine the half-life of hemoglobin and other blood proteins.
Since both Rittenberg and I accepted unquestioningly the concept that body constituents are in a continuous state of flux, we were indeed astonished by this finding.
We then had a serious discussion in which he more than mildly suggested that I either mixed up the samples or somehow contaminated the sample and 1, offended by the implication that my technique was less than impeccable suggested that his mass spectrometer was returning incorrect data.

Biographical Memoirs: Volume 80 DAVID RITTENBERG November 11, 1906–January 24, 1970 BY DAVID SHEMIN AND RONALD BENTLEY DAVID RITTENBERG WAS a leader in the development of the isotopic tracer technique for the study of biochemical reactions in intermediary metabolism.
With considerable foresight Rittenberg and Schoenheimer stated that cholesterol “is formed by the coupling of smaller molecules, possibly those which have been postulated to be intermediates in the fat and carbohydrate metabolism.” In another laboratory, yeast grown in the presence of [2-2H] acetate contained a high 2H level in unidentified sterols.

About these sorts of experiments, however, the argument could always be made that the derivatives were “unphysiological,” that is, did not occur naturally and might be handled by the enzymes of the body differently than “physiological” compounds.
This difficulty was overcome in 1935 when Rudolf Schoenheimer and David Rittenberg described the use of the isotope deuterium (identical to the hydrogen atom except that it contains an extra neutron) in following biochemical reactions.
They argued persuasively that deuterium-labeled compounds (those having a deuterium atom substituted for a hydrogen) were essentially indistinguishable from nonlabeled compounds as far as metabolic processes were concerned but that the amount of deuterium in any given sample could be quantitatively determined by the properties of the water produced upon combustion of the sample.

After teaching at the University of Chicago (1946-54), Bloch became professor of biochemistry at Harvard, continuing his research on lipids, especially the unsaturated fatty acid components.
In 1942 Bloch and David Rittenberg discovered that the two-carbon compound acetic acid was the major building block in the 30 or more steps in the biosynthesis (natural formation) of cholesterol, a waxlike alcohol found in animal cells.
In his search to determine how acetic acid molecules combine in this process, Bloch was also joined by Feodor Lynen and his collaborators in Munich and Sir John Warcup Cornforth and George Popjak in England.
