The square modulus of the wave function of the proton has been derived in the framework of the statistical model. The presence of antiquarks in the sea, which simulates the screening effect, has been explicitly taken into account. The resulting momentum space wavefunction has also been used to estimate the structure function for the free proton as well as the difference in structure function for the proton and neutron. The results obtained are in agreement with the corresponding experimental data and other theoretical estimates. The colour transparency effect has also been studied with interesting consequences.
