The invention is directed to methods of inhibiting the rate at which superoxide dismutse-1 (SOD) aggregates using compounds that stabilize SOD dimers. The methods are useful in the study and therapy of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The invention also includes assays that can be used to identify compounds that stabilize dimers and SOD molecules that have been modified for use in these assays.
