  These fourteen atoms are members of two THR residues.
  Can the information regarding atomic bonds be interpreted only from these fourteen lines?
  For example,
  
  the first atom, N, has three bonds attached to CA.
  the second atom, CA, has four bonds; three are attached to N, and one is to C.
  the third atom, C, has four bonds; one is attached to CA, one to oxygen, and two are empty.
  the fourth atom, O, has two bonds; one is attached to the third carbon, and one is to the fifth atom beta-carbon.
  the fifth atom, beta-carbon, has four bonds; one is attached to the fourth atom, two are attached to the first branch (OG1), and one is attached to the second branch (CG2).
  
  Or do I have to use my background knowledge of amino acids to find bonds?
  Note: I am not talking about hydrogen bonds. I am talking about atomic bonds only in the atoms in the residue.
  
  user6717: You can use topology files to extract bond information.
  Here is an example at CHARMM36
  
  user266: The official list of bonds in each residue in the PDB is in the Chemical Component Dictionary.
  You could also use interatomic distances to infer connectivity, but that's less reliable.
