Theorell, who devoted his entire career to enzyme research, won the 1955 Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering the toxidation enzyme and its effects.

At the Nobel Institute his research led to pioneering progress on ADH enzymes, which break down alcohol in the kidney.

His work won praise in Sweden as well as abroad, where he received honorary degrees at universities in France, Belgium, Brazil and the United States.
