Dear Jessica, The opening question from your external examiner I expect to be “Your studentship funder is interested in your training and competence in research methods, your university however, in deciding to award your degree, has to know what your contribution to knowledge is?” PhD theses require an abstract but what you need to answer that question is a shorter synopsis. A synopsis can be quite tricky to get right whilst being succinct.
I realise I have not answered your precise question, on Xray crystallography questions that may arise. So, on that point, the topical question seems to be “What is your view on being able to predict what you have found out by Xray crystallography?
