Is it feasible to carry on structure comparison when the identity is 54%?

06 June 2012 0 3K Report

I am a beginner and I am using "modeller" programmer for homology modelling. and when I BLAST my query with the PDB database the first four are showing 54% identity can I proceed further? Or is there any alternative?
