 Biographical Sketches
The coenzyme was soon shown to have wider applications than the Krebs cycle, when in 1950 Feodor Lynen found that it played a key role in the metabolism of fats.
Lynen received his Ph.D. from the University of Munich under Heinrich Wieland in 1937.
Lynen demonstrated that this was done by coenzyme A, which combined with the fatty acid and formed, after a number of intermediary steps, acetoacetyl coenzyme A at one end of the chain.

 BLOCH, Konrad Emil
With others, he determined that a chemically active form of acetate, acetyl coenzyme A, is converted through a series of chemical changes into cholesterol.
This research and the independent research of the German biochemist Feodor Lynen clarified the role of acetic acid as a building block for cholesterol and fatty acids.
Bloch and Lynen shared the 1964 Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology for “their discoveries concerning the mechanisms and regulation of cholesterol and fatty-acid metabolism.”

There he studied with German chemist and Nobel laureate Heinrich Wieland, who was Lynen's principal teacher both as an undergraduate and graduate student.
Medical authorities knew that an accumulation of cholesterol in the walls of arteries and in blood contributed to diseases of the circulatory system, including arteriosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes.
In its tribute to Lynen and Bloch, the Nobel Committee noted that a more complete understanding of the metabolism of sterols and fatty acids promised to reveal the possible role of cholesterol in heart disease.

Working independently, he and Feodor Lynen, the co-winner of the prize and director of the Max Planck Institute for Cell Chemistry in Munich, have puzzled out the 36-step process by which acetic acid is transformed into Cholesterol.
Cholesterol is known to be the raw material of the sex hormones; some researchers believe that excess cholesterol causes heart disease.
Bloch and Lynen did not collaborate formally, although they did correspond, and have met at nearly a dozen conferences.

 The Secrets of Cholesterol | TIME   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Feodor Lynen, 53, head of biochemistry at the University of Munich and director of the Max-Planck-Institut für Zellchemie, is the son of a chemistry professor and married to the daughter of another, Heinrich Wieland, who won a Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1927.
For years, until after World War II, Lynen's cholesterol work paralleled Bloch's without either man's knowing what the other was doing.
Sweden's Royal Caroline Institute, the medical school that is responsible for selecting Nobel winners in physiology and medicine, was understandably careful not to go out on a limb because of the raging controversies over cholesterol and cooking fats.
