Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) feedback controllers are the most widely used controllers in industry. Recently, the design of molecular PID-controllers has been identified as an important goal for synthetic biology and the field of cybergenetics. In this paper, we consider the realization of PID-controllers via biomolecular reactions. We propose an array of topologies offering a compromise between simplicity and high performance. We first demonstrate that different biomolecular PI-controllers exhibit different performance-enhancing capabilities. Next, we introduce several derivative controllers based on incoherent feedforward loops acting in a feedback configuration. Alternatively, we show that differentiators can be realized by placing molecular integrators in a negative feedback loop, which can be augmented by PI-components to yield PID-controllers. We demonstrate that PID-controllers can enhance stability and dynamic performance, and can also reduce stochastic noise. Finally, we provide an experimental demonstration using a hybrid setup where in silico PID-controllers regulate a genetic circuit in single yeast cells.
