The most common stereocenters are chiral centers (such as asymmetric carbon atoms) and the double-bonded carbon atoms in cis-trans alkenes. A chiral center consists of an atom holding a set of ligands (atoms or groups of atoms) in a spatial arrangement which is not superposable on its mirror image.ost chiral molecules have a chiral carbon, though the presence of a chiral carbon does not necessarily make a molecule chiral (see meso compound). A chiral carbon is often denoted by C*. If the carbon is chiral, it follows that: 1  the carbon atom is sp 3 -hybridized;
Past the inca tunnel, a gentle climb will take you to the third pass at 12139 feet above sea level (3700 masl), offering incredible views of several snow capped peaks including Salkantay (20574 ft./6271m) and Veronica (18865 ft./5750m).
HIKING ROUTE 2. 1  From the parking area (1850'), pass the gate and hike up the road which goes up Sisar Canyon. 2  Continue for about 3 miles to where the road makes its second major switchback to the left. 3  Look for a trail sign straight in front of you, indicating 2.5 miles to the Nordhoff Ridge Road.RIVING ROUTE 2. 1  Take SR 126 to Santa Paula. 2  At 8.8 miles the Summit School (unsigned) is on the right. 3  Go past some houses to where the road turns to dirt, keeping right at two forks. 4  At 0.8 mile a water tank. 5  At 1.0 mile a locked gate.
