No, there is no way to use such data to determine the folding rate of the intact protein. If you used a fragment approach you could potentially (read lots of papers on REMD) isolate nucleation sites, but minus the tertiary interaction scheme you could not tell a compelling story. Now, if you want to find nucleation sites and see if there are spatially proximal sites and simulate them together... You might begin to tell a story.

Thanks for your reply. I want to whether does it make any sense or is it possible to simulate fragments of proteins and find their folding rate and then correlate it to folding rate of whole protein ??

Simulating arbitrary parts of a protein may or may not produce any relevant information, likely the latter. Independently folding domains might be simulated in isolation, but if there is a chance that the peptide sequences have any effect on neighboring residues or even more distal sites, you'll never produce anything useful.

       Hi,
       I want to know whether it's possible to calculate the folding

       gromacs ??
Anything is possible ;) But seriously, there is existing literature
   on such topics, I suspect you can find methodology that will suit
   your needs.
