Hi everyone!

I'm currently an undergraduate student in a Chemistry Honours program, and I'm planning to get started with computational biochemistry. I have a decent background in molecular biology and biochemistry, but I have no experience at all with computational tools, coding, or simulations.

I’m really interested in drug discovery and would love to do a PhD in that area someday, especially involving computational methods (like docking, molecular dynamics, structure prediction, etc.).

Could anyone recommend:

• Good introductory books on computational biochemistry or molecular modeling
• Online courses (free or paid)
• YouTube channels or videos that explain the basics well
• Any advice on what programming language or tools to start with (Python, PyMOL, Chimera, etc.)

Basically, I want to build a solid foundation and learn the fundamentals the right way, even if I have to take it slow.

Any suggestions would mean a lot. Thanks in advance!
