It resolves abortive DNA ligation intermediates, formed either at base excision sites or when DNA ligases try to repair non-ligatable breaks induced by reactive oxygen species. Molecular pathology. Defects of APTX cause ataxia-oculomotor apraxia syndrome, and are a cause of coenzyme Q10 deficiency (COQ10D).
(A bit is a binary digit, either 0 or 1; a byte is 8 binary digits long): 1  If you counted all the bits in one petabyte at one bit per second, itâd take 285 million years. 2  If you counted one byte per second, it would take 35.7 million years. 3  It would take 223,000 DVDs (4.7Gb each) to hold 1Pb.
The size of the byte has historically been hardware dependent and no definitive standards existed that mandated the size. The de facto standard of eight bits is a convenient power of two permitting the values 0 through 255 for one byte. The international standard IEC 80000-13 codified this common meaning. Many types of applications use information representable in eight or fewer bits and processor designers optimize for this common usage.
