Drexler's MIT thesis (30 Mb) is available for free - link is near the top of this page - and "contains most of the content of the book [Nanosystems] in nearly final form."

How does your enzyme manage to hold on to the carbons strongly enough to pull them apart?

There are real enzymes that do this - cleave carbon-carbon bonds - as you probably know...?

This paper contains an early proposal for how small groups of carbon atoms would be stored, positioned, and pulled apart as necessary. Many more papers are available here.

Great. I'll shift my attention to that until Nanosystems arrives

Excellent. Thanks.
