Abstract: The invention provides compounds, and methods of using those compounds to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting propagation of protein misfolding associated with a neurological disease, is carried out by contacting an environment populated with a propagating amyloid conformation of a protein (prion) associated with a neurological disease with molecules which binds multiple adjacent sites of the protein assemblies and allowing the molecules to bind multiple cites of the protein assemblies; and thereby impeding propagation of the disease-associated conformation of the protein in the environment. Drug/prion complexes are formed and uses of the drugs in detection and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for detecting a neurological disease the method comprising isolating brain tissue from its natural environment, contacting the brain tissue with a labeled molecule which binds to multiple sites of stacked proteins associated with neurodegenerative disease, determining the binding of the labeled molecule; and thereby determining a neurodegenerative disease associated with the brain tissue.
