[Biopython] Getting side chain atoms?

[João Rodrigues]

Hi Mark,

The gyration tensor should give you the means of calculating how oblate or
prolate your molecule is.

Regarding the sidechain, i think you just have to manually do it, but since
the backbone atoms are always the same it shouldn't be too hard.

Cheers,

João
