Repulsive electrostatic forces between prion-like proteins are a barrier against aggregation. In neuropharmacology, however, a prion's net charge (Z) is not a targeted parameter. Compounds that selectively boost prion Z remain unreported. Here, we synthesized compounds that amplified the negative charge of misfolded superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) by acetylating lysine-NH3+ in amyloid-SOD1, without acetylating
