Methods of preventing or treating Parkinson's disease in subjects are described where drugs are administered to subjects in effective amounts to cause the farnesylation of PARIS and the enhanced expression of PGC-1α in the brain. These methods alleviate the effects of Parkinson's disease in subjects, in part, by preventing the loss of dopamine neurons.

A method for producing an examination reagent includes adding a helper ligand to a receptor protein which is unfolded in an initial solution so as to provide a pre-solution of the examination reagent with a receptor protein which is folded. The receptor protein which is folded comprises a bonded helper ligand which can be exchanged with an examination peptide.
