Your best bet is PDB format. Google it up, it gives coordinates and such for each aa.

Hi,
I'm writing a program which has to hold information about the 3d
structure of a protein, and make modifications to the coordinates. I was
wondering if anyone can comment on suitable data structures that can be
used for this, pros and cons?
Thanks in advance!
