The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is $\text{B}=-\frac{\text{me}^4}{8\text{n}^2\epsilon_0^2\text{h}^2}$. (m = electron mass).
If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving arround it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be,
$\text{B}=-\frac{\text{me}^4}{8\text{n}^2\epsilon_0^2\text{h}^2}$ (M = proton mass)
