Not typically, these motions usually occur more on the time scale of a 
microsecond (or more).  It will depend on how large the protein is, and what 
amplitude the motion is, though, so I suppose anything is possible.  Domain 
motions are more often analyzed by normal mode analysis or elastic network 
models, because typical solution MD doesn't achieve the appropriate time scale.
