Why sleep?
Humans spend 1/3 of their life sleeping
Imagine longer productive times

Final project presentation, Sleep-away team: Alertness Aid Author: Three](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081404/5f041c1a7e708231d40c5db5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Adenosine
One main cause of tiredness
Byproduct of cells burning ATP to produce energy
Attach to receptors, inhibit production of stimulants
Adenosine deaminase breaks adenosine down
![Page 4: Final project presentation, Sleep-away team: Alertness Aid€¦ · Humans spend 1/3 of their life sleeping ... Final project presentation, Sleep-away team: Alertness Aid Author: Three](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081404/5f041c1a7e708231d40c5db5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ADA breaks down adenosine into the nucleoside inosine by removing an amino group.
Inosine has neuroprotective propertiesObserved to improve axonal rewiring/repair
Leads to production of uric acid (natural antioxidant)
We will use ADA1, the more common of two isoforms (ADA 1 and 2)
Adenosine Deaminase (ADA)

Purpose
Creating a system to sequester and break down adenosine in the brain
Delay the buildup of adenosine
Would act as a replacement for caffeine, except without the side effects ☺

Adenosine Receptor/Enzyme Testing
Adenosine ReceptorAdd determined amount of receptor to adenosine solution
Use chromatography to determine efficacy of receptors
Adenosine DeaminaseCreate solution with known amount of adenosine
Add ADA, measure change in adenosine levels
Can use methylene blue-based detector for adenosine

Immunoliposome Testing
Two steps to test:Attach antibodies
Insert receptors and enzyme
Can use chromatography after each step
Separates particles by mass
Only select immunliposomes with specific mass (i.e., successful attachment of antibodies or insertion of contents) Image courtesy of Reto A. Schwendener Ph.D.

Unknowns
Purpose and effects of sleep
Other factors that cause tiredness in the brain
Possible side effects
How much receptor/enzyme should we use?Test with different doses
Feasibility

Final project presentation, Sleep-away team: Alertness Aid Author: Three](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081404/5f041c1a7e708231d40c5db5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Safety, Security, and Ethical Issues
System emulates a natural process in brainNo side effects from system parts or treatment itself (theoretically)
Unknown effects of delaying sleep for extended periods
Must always exercise caution when inserting substances into brain
Possible ethical issues?“Cheating” sleep?
