SUMOylation is a posttranslational modification that involves lysine residues from eukaryotic proteins. Misregulation of the modification has been linked to neuro-degenrative diseases and cancer. All the presently available tools to predict SUMOylation sites are sequence based. Here, we propose a novel structure based prediction tool to discriminate between SUMOylated and non-SUMOylated lysines. We demonstrate the method by carrying out a proof-of-concept study. The method achieved an accuracy of 81% and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient of 0.4.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
