The paper considers molecular programming in the abstract Tile Assembly Model, aTAM. Using simple constructions, an interpreter for the full Combinatory Logic, CL, is formally defined in aTAM. It provides an approach for sequential programming in aTAM, and produces a DNA molecular machine. This machine lives in a suitable solution and when receives a seed that linearly encodes a CL program and an input for the program, produces a grid which encodes a computation of the program on its input. The paper considers the construction cost and some alternative approaches. Finally, as a case study in distributed programming in aTAM, the paper considers the consensus problem and shows how an aTAM program for it can be formally derived by using π-calculus.
