Methods described herein provide procedures that can be used to rapidly screen drugs for high probability of effectiveness as therapy for amyloid associated neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and prion-associated diseases by detecting size and/or aggregation of phage incubated with a target compound. The data generated indicate that bacteriophage or phage capsid subunits can switch conformation to a conformation that mimics the neurodegenerative disease-causing conformation of amyloid proteins. This switch has been observed by incubation of bacteriophage T4 with methylene blue, a compound for which literature data indicates has anti-AD activity.
