		Konrad Bloch, who died on 15 October 2000, was one of the small group of biochemists who first used stable isotopes to study the biological synthesis of complex molecules.
		Bloch, who was Jewish, was told that he was ineligible to continue at the institute because Fischer had declined to accept him as a graduate student.
		Bloch once stated that his only regret in science was that he and many co-workers had wasted so much time in the intractable process of trying to purify from membranes the enzymes involved in fatty acid and cholesterol biosynthesis.

		Konrad Emil Bloch, 88, a Harvard University professor emeritus of biochemistry, died of congestive heart failure on Oct. 15.
		Dean of the Faculty of Public Health Barry R. Bloom, who was this year's Konrad Bloch lecturer in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, said one of Bloch's most important achievements was working out the pathway for the biosynthesis of cholesterol.
		Bloom called Bloch "a model of what a true scientist should be," saying his personal qualities were as stellar as his professional achievements.

		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.
		Their discovery facilitated medical research on the relation of blood cholesterol levels to atherosclerosis; research in physiology; and research on the chemistry of terpenes, rubber, and other isoprene derivatives.

		However, an equally important and intriguing question, the question of the origin of cholesterol in the context of cell evolution, has received relatively less attention, perhaps due to the apparent overwhelming complexity that must be involved in answering the question.
		Inspired by Konrad Bloch's idea of sterol evolution, we have chosen to study cholesterol in comparison with its precursor, lanosterol.
		Moreover, molecular ordering and dynamics of phosphatidylcholine bilayers in the presence of either cholesterol (or ergosterol) or lanosterol were investigated experimentally by use of NMR techniques at a couple of specific temperatures and sterol concentrations (Yeagle, 1985; Urbina et al., 1995).
