Among top scoring entries (step b), synapsin I is the only protein not belonging to the protein kinase target family (step c) and present in numerous copies (step d). A systematic SiteAlign comparison (e) of the ATP-binding site in synapsin-I with 978 other ATP-binding sites suggest that some but not all ATP-binding sites of protein kinases (steps f, g) are similar to that of synapsin I.
