A method of identifying a therapeutic useful for treating or preventing Alzheimer's disease, which method includes the steps of contacting (a) a first molecule containing the couplone portion of APP (SEQ ID NO: 1) with (b) a second molecule containing the amino acid sequence of Go (SEQ ID NO: 2) or an APP-associating region of Go (SEQ ID NOs: 3, 4, or 5), in the presence of a candidate compound; and determining whether the candidate compound interferes with the association of the first and second molecules, such interference being an indication that the candidate compound is a potential Alzheimer's disease therapeutic.
