Banach Algebra Isomorphism
Let $X=l^1$ with coordinate multiplication - it is commutative Banach algebra without unit. The Gelfand transformation is defined as $widehat{x}(e_n)=x_n$ for $x in l^1$. I would like to prove, that this algebra is isomorphic to $C^*$-algebra. Any ideas ? Thanks.

It is definitely not, even as a Banach space. Commutative C*-algebras are isomorphic to $C_0(X)$ for some locally compact Hausdorff space, which is infinite when the algebra is infinite-dimensional. In such case, you will find a subalgebra isomorphic to $c_0$. The space $c_0$ does not embed isomorphically into $ell_1$ because the latter space is weakly sequentially complete.
Actually, it is easy to see that $ell_1$ does not satisfy the C*-condition under the original norm. Take $x=e_1 + e_2$. Then $xx^* = x$ but $|xx^*|=2neq |x|^2$. (In other words, observe that non-zero self-adjoint projections in C*-algebras have norm 1.)

Well, $l^1$ does not satisfy the $C^{*}$-condition, but I would like to show, that there is no isomorphism between $l^{1}$ algebra and $C^{*}$ algebra. We have that $C_{0}(l^{1})=c_0$ but $c_0$ does not embed isomorphically into $l^{1}$. Is is true, that $C_{0}(l^{p})=c_0$ for $p>1$ ?
