He is credited for discovering proteins like crystalline myoglobin, found in red muscle. He described this protein as the carrier of oxygen in muscle area. His extensive study defined the chemical structure of yellow colored enzyme found in yeast. He also conducted detail research on the chemical structure of cytochrome. Apart from that, he studied the link of cytochrom with heme nucleus. His innovative research showed the working process of ADH enzymes in breaking down alcohol in kidney. He had an important contribution regarding the isolation of enzymes like lactoperoxidase, found in milk. In later period of his life, he researched to crystallize an enzyme from horse’s liver. He also pursued his study on ethyl alcohol .One of the most important discoveries of Hugo includes his development of blood alcohol test to check drunk drivers. He was the recipient of several honorary doctorates from seven prestigious universities of places like Paris, Pennsylvania and so on.
