In this paper we present the basic ideas of a metacomponent based architecture for network computing on a grid consisting of autonomous nodes.We argue that when building complex systems out of components one can emulate the lock and key mechanisms used by proteins to recognize each other.Then we present an infrastructure for metacomputing built out of primitive elements able to discover each other's properties using a language created by the Knowledge Sharing Effort.
