luca
first living cell
life is a miracle and a mystery
isomer
same molecular formula, but different connectivity
sterioisomers
has carbon with 4 different groups on it
stereocenter
4 different groups attached to one carbon
achiral
superimposable on mirror image
cis-trans isomers
have different physical and chemical properties
because they have a double bond they automatically cannot rotate to not be superimposable
chiral
takes us space differently, is non super imposable on its mirror image
enantiomers
sterioisomers that are non superimposable mirror images of each other
diastereomers
stereoisomers that are not chiral centers of each other
handedness
persons left and right hands are mirror images, but cannot be stacked
what do enantiomers always come in
pairs
2n equation
determines maximum number of possible sterioisomers
n represents the number of stereocenters in a molecule
enzymes
protein bicatalysts that have many stereocenters
