Rhodopseudomonas viridis (Rps. viridis) is a bacterial photosynthetic reaction center (PRC) and a huge molecular system. On the basis of information on heavy atoms (C, N, O, Mg, S, and Fe) from Protein Data Bank of Brookhaven National Lab., we constructed the molecular structure, and released the Cartesian coordinates from home page (URL=http://www.nimc.go.jp/cicsj/jcac/kao1/prc.txt). We confirmed that Rps. viridis was 20,479 atoms including 201 water molecules, and the total charge was -7. Because the previous studies have reported different information on this system, we think this article is a basic data to investigate photo induced electron transfer at the PRC.
