High luminosity accelerators have greatly increased the interest in semi-exclusive and exclusive reactions involving nucleons. The relevant theoretical information is contained in the nucleon wavefunction and can be parametrized by moments of the nucleon distribution amplitude, which in turn are linked to matrix elements of three-quark operators. These can be calculated from first principles in lattice QCD. We present renormalized non-perturbative results for the nucleon distribution amplitude based on its lowest moments and give an outlook on its phenomenological implications.
