Abstract
We prove that the asymptotic vanishing of the longitudinal part of the total virtual photoabsorption cross section on protons implies the vanishing of the wave-function renormalization constant . Present data indicate that (consistent with zero) suggesting that the proton is indeed a composite particle.
