A few chosen nucleon properties are described from a lattice QCD perspective:
the nucleon sigma term and the scalar strangeness in the nucleon; the vector
form factors in the nucleon, including the vector strangeness contribution, as
well as parity breaking effects like the anapole and electric dipole moment;
and finally the axial and tensor charges of the nucleon. The status of the
lattice calculations is presented and their potential impact on phenomenology
is discussed.Comment: 17 pages, 9 figures; proceedings of the Conclusive Symposium of the
