Dye and compositions to monitor the multistep protein aggregation process in both test tubes and live cells are provided. These dyes can detect misfolded protein oligomers and distinguish insoluble protein aggregates from misfolded oligomers. Applications of these dyes include measuring kinetics of protein aggregation, monitoring aggregation of specific proteins in intact live cells, monitoring aggregation of cellular proteome in intact live cells, and tracking the time course of protein aggregation in cells under stress conditions.

The application relates to phenyl- or naphthylsulfonamide derivatives of the structural formula (I). The compounds are described as inhibitors of USP30 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 30) useful for the treatment of conditions involving mitochondrial defects including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's or a neoplastic disease such as leukemia. ##STR00001##
