Dr. Cornell passed away in 2000. but all of us who knew him cherish fond memories and harbor a deep gratitude for his contributions to science and the MBL community. Research in Dr. Cornell's laboratory, which continued to pursue his research goals through the end of 2000, was concerned with the comparative molecular biology of genes that encode the enzymes for heme biosynthesis. These efforts placed particular emphasis on 5-aminolevulinate synthase, the first enzyme in the pathway. Because the ability to produce heme from common metabolic materials is a near universal requirement for living organisms, these genes provide useful indicators of molecular aspects of evolution. For example. 5-aminolevulinate synthase in vertebrate animals and simple eukaryotes such as yeast
