Published: January 2008

A new synthetic model of arginine-carboxylate-aromatic triads-common motifs at sites of protein-protein interactions-is reported. Binding studies in mixed methanol/water solvent systems suggest that the carboxylate-binding ability of pi-stacked guanidinium ions is improved relative to a non-stacked control.
