That's an extremely complex thing to attempt to measure. The observables 
in MD simulations are the positions and velocities of atoms. It is 
infeasible to simulate for long enough to measure something like the 
free energy of folding. You might be able to measure a relative 
stability using alchemical free energy methods, but that's not exactly a 
beginner topic.
