2.4 Molecular Components and Molecular Assemblers

Assuming that various elementary molecular parts fabrication and assembly operations can be performed for certain limited classes of structures, perhaps as described in Section 2.3, then what structures would be interesting and useful to build? This Section briefly describes a small set of possibly useful molecular mechanical components (Section 2.4.1) and then concludes with a discussion of the concept of the molecular assembler (Section 2.4.2).
