Consider Molecular Biology of the Cell by Bruce Alberts. Recommended by 4 sources.

“Molecular Biology of the Cell reads like a carefully organized, illustration-rich textbook: clear prose introduces cellular concepts and detailed diagrams carry much of the explanatory weight. It assembles molecular mechanisms, pathways, and visual summaries that work well when you need a factual scaffold for exams or to refresh a specific topic. Its limitation is sheer density—many chapters move into biochemical minutiae that reward slow, repeated reading but repel casual readers. Best approached in focused sittings and used as a reference for targeted lookups rather than a light, continuous read.”
