The vibrational dynamics of protein folding is analyzed in the framework of Tsallis thermostatistics. The generalized partition functions, internal energies, free energies and temperature factor (or Debye-Waller factor) are calculated. It has also been observed that the temperature factor is dependent on the non-extensive parameter q which behaves like a scale parameter in the harmonic oscillator model. As $q\to 1$, we also show that these approximations agree with the result of Gaussian network model.
