60% is freaking nothing in protein space. Like, that's not something to brag about. I could go through and hand edit GFP to 60% identity and get basically GFP still functional at the end. In grad school, I worked on proteins that were 12%-15% sequence identical but had sub 4 Å RMSDs once the structures were solved. EDIT: Actually, bragging about it could be a nigerian prince thing, where they do it to scare away investors that might actually hold them to some standard.
