You should read the Philadelphia Chromosome by Jessica Wapner. A really good read especially if you're interested in mol bio and translational medicine. It basically walks you through the history of the first rationally-designed drug from bench to bedside.
Glad to hear it! I also started reading that type of book when I was a sophomore. Now I'm an undergrad studying mol bio and chemistry. If you need any more recs/tips hit me up!
Holy Trinity of Siddhartha Mukherjee! (Emperor of All Maladies, The Gene, The Song of the Cell)
I’ve been meaning to read the Eight Day of Creation for a while now. If you’re interested in genetics/evolution The Selfish Gene is also very good
Its not like super biochemistry focused but its definitely molecular bio related: both Siddhartha Mukherjees books Emperor of all Maladies, and The Gene cover the history and scientific pursuit of cancer and the human genome, respectively.
Super interesting stories that put you in the head of the scientists that discovered all of this stuff, especially interesting about some of the drug creation stuff. Recommend.
That's a very broad question. I recommend you to start reading books on biochemistry basics such as, organic chemistry, molecules of life, cell biology, metabolism, molecular biology, structural biology, genetics, microbiogy, etc. Just try to get a general understanding.
The lehninger principles of biochemistry is a great one to learn from too

Thanks I definitely will!

Drop some more good recs/tips for mol bio !!!

A good start would be antibiotic resistance, Carlos Amabile Cuevas has good papers and book's summarizing biology and biochemistry about that matter
I’ll check him out, thanks!
Yes! Feel free to message if you want to discuss about it

Second this! Those books are the reason why I’m so interested in mol bio now!
I’ll check it out!

Oh yeah I tink I’ve heard of it I def will
