Distinguishing Life From Non-Life Via Molecular Frontier Orbital Energy Gaps by takumifujimscribd20260223 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document introduces LUMOS, a statistical framework that distinguishes life from non-life by analyzing the abundance-weighted HOMO-LUMO gap (HLG) values of amino acids (AAs). It demonstrates that biotic samples exhibit greater variance and preference for lower HLG values compared to abiotic samples, achieving over 95% accuracy in classification. This approach suggests that varied molecular reactivity may serve as a universal biosignature, applicable to both returned samples and in situ analyses.
