The {pf}-shell nuclei are present in abundance in the pre-supernova and supernova phases and these nuclei are considered to play an important role in the dynamics of core collapse supernovae. The B(GT) values are calculated for the {pf}-shell nuclei 55Co and 57Zn using the pn-QRPA theory. The calculated B(GT) strengths have differences with earlier reported shell model calculations, however, the results are in good agreement with the experimental data. These B(GT) strengths are used in the calculations of weak decay rates which play a decisive role in the core-collapse supernovae dynamics and nucleosynthesis. Unlike previous calculations the so-called Brink's hypothesis is not assumed in the present calculation which leads to a more realistic estimate of weak decay rates. The electron capture rates are calculated over wide grid of temperature ({0.01} × 109 - 30 × 109 K) and density (10-1011 g-cm-3). Our rates are enhanced compared to the reported shell model rates. This enhancement is attributed partly to the liberty of selecting a huge model space, allowing consideration of many more excited states in the present electron capture rates calculations.
