The Science of Assembly Theory

There is a connection between complexity of molecule and the number of features we can measure spectroscopically. If you're a complex molecule and you have more different bonds, you've got more dance moves. And to our surprise, they all correlated very well. In fact, infrared NMR was almost one to one. Electric was harder because molecules fall apart not always on demand. But that doesn't matter. So we did that with a test set. And then what we then did is said, okay, it works with these molecules. What about mixtures? And we got a whole load of mixtures from Earth. We generated some prebiotic soups in the laboratory. We took
