Mark the correct statements about glycan structure and biogenesis. Question options: Explain why if at all possible, please.
A.) Glycosyltransferases are enzymes which attach sugar moieties to proteins, lipids, and glycans.
B.) Glycosyltransferases make use of a template which directs attachment of sugars.
C.) Lectins are enzymes which remove glycans through hydrolysis reactions.
D.) The rigid structure of cellulose and chitin is due to an extensive network of hydrogen bonds.
E.) Cellulose consists mainly of disaccharides linked by beta-1-4 glycosidic bonds. N-acetyl glucosamine is a disaccharide consisting of glucose and fructose.
F.) Chitin is a branched glycan which mediates cell-cell interactions.
