Molecular dynamics software like GROMACS is useful for studying protein movements and maybe the folding process. A more approachable way to start is by looking at/analyzing existing protein folds. PyMol is my favorite protein visualization software. There is a paid version, free educational version (if you have a .edu email), and free open-source compilable code. You can download protein structure files to look at from the Protein Data Bank. If you want to predict unknown structures, a great tool is homology modeling (e.g. Swiss Model). If you want to go deep down the rabbit hole of protein modeling, Rosetta is probably the most powerful tool. It is what powers Fold.it (and maybe folding@home, I don't remember).
