Arginine stacking: The stability of a doubly charged twin arginine pair that is crucial for the binding of an adenovirus to its preferred cellular receptor has been analyzed by quantum-chemical calculations. Both electrostatic effects and a complex network of hydrogen bonds within the microenvironment of the arginine pair stabilize this arrangement (see picture).
