	Konrad Emil Bloch Summary
		Bloch's research explained the significance of acetic acid as a building block of cholesterol, and showed that cholesterol is an essential component of all body cells.
		Bloch served as an editor of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, chaired the section on metabolism and research of the National Research Council's Committee on Growth, and was a member of the biochemistry study section of the United States Public Health Service.
		Bloch has also been a member of several scientific societies, including the National Academy of Sciences, to which he was elected in 1956, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Society of Biological Chemists, in addition to the American Philosophical Society.

	BLOCH, Konrad Emil
		Prior to his move to the U.S. in 1936, Bloch had studied the biochemistry of tubercle bacilli in Switzerland; in 1938 he began research at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia in the isotopic analysis of cell metabolism.
		At the University of Chicago, Bloch demonstrated that all carbon atoms of cholesterol originate in the carbon molecules of acetate.
		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.”

		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 Popják in England.
