It is shown that the non-perturbative effect modifies the conventional quark-parton model formula of the nucleon structure function at finite $Q^2$ and suggests a non-trivial $Q^2$ dependence in the Gottfried sum.LaTex, 14 pages, one figue appended as uuencoded fileHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyNon-perturbative effect in the nucleon structure function and the Gottfried sumtext
