Abstract
We review the recent investigations of nuclear structure physics based on relativistic mean-field theory which take into account the fact that the nucleon contains light quarks. It is shown that this internal structure plays such an important role in a variety of phenomena, from nuclear saturation to charge symmetry breaking and super-allowed Fermi β-decay, that it can no longer be ignored.
