Abstrakt: Billions of years of evolution have led to the creation of sophisticated genetic regulatory mechanisms that control various biological processes in a timely and precise fashion, despite their uncertain and noisy environments. Understanding such naturally existing mechanisms and even designing novel ones will have direct implications in various fields such as biotechnology, medicine, and synthetic biology. In particular, many studies have revealed that feedback-based control mechanisms inside the living cells endow the overall system with multiple attractive features, including homeostasis, noise reduction, and high dynamic performance. The remarkable interdisciplinary nature of these studies has brought together disparate disciplines such as systems/synthetic biology and control theory in an effort to design and build more powerful and reliable biomolecular control systems. Here, we review various biomolecular feedback controllers, highlight their characteristics, and point out their promising impact.
