Greg Sandala

Greg Sandala serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Mount Allison University, where he directs research initiatives in computational chemistry and enzyme mechanisms. His work focuses on the application of theoretical methods to understand complex biochemical reactions, particularly those involving coenzyme B12-dependent enzymes and organometallic systems.

Dr. Sandala's research explores fundamental biochemical processes using advanced computational techniques such as density functional theory. His investigations span enzyme catalysis, radical biochemistry, metalloprotein function, and reaction mechanisms in biological systems. Specific interests include substrate specificity in dehydratases, radical-based enzymatic rearrangements, and spectroscopic characterization of iron-containing complexes.

His publications demonstrate consistent focus on enzymatic reaction pathways, with specialized work on coenzyme B12 systems and application of broken-symmetry DFT methods to biological problems. Recent computational studies examine substrate interactions in dehydratases and structural properties of organoindium complexes.
