[Biopython] Protein side-chain angles from a PDB file

Hi,

I have a doubt about how can I calculate the protein side-chain angles from
a PDB file?

I've read the Bio.PDB.Vector evaluates the angles from three atoms. However,
my question is how can I  chose these atoms from a PDB file?

I have based on peter cook web-site and I have calculated the phi-psi angles
but I haven't seen about side-chain angles.

Sorry if my question is very basic. However, I'm a computer scientist novice
in chemistry issue.

Thanks in advance.
