Prebiosignature Molecules Can Be Detected in Temperate Exoplanet Atmospheres with JWST

The search for biosignatures on exoplanets connects the fields of biology and biochemistry to astronomical observation, with the hope that we might detect evidence of active biological processes on worlds outside the solar system. Here we focus on a complementary aspect of exoplanet characterization...
