ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for determining the ability of a compound to modify the interaction between parkin and the p38protein, and in particular to a method for screening for or detecting compounds intended for the prevention and/or treatment of neurodegenerative pathological conditions. The present inventions also relates to compounds identified in the above screening method.
