Any suggestion on Bio Physics book?

In summary, bio physics is a branch of science that combines principles of biology and physics to study biological systems at a molecular and cellular level. It can help one understand complex biological processes and has practical applications in fields such as medicine and biotechnology. Some recommended books for beginners include "Bio Physics: An Introduction" by Rodney Cotterill, "Physical Biology of the Cell" by Rob Phillips, and "Biological Physics: Energy, Information, Life" by Philip Nelson. There are also specific books for medical students, such as "Medical Biophysics" by Mark C. Allen and "Biophysics for Medical Students" by Leszek Kubin. For a comprehensive coverage of both theory and practical applications, "Molecular Driving Forces:
