I don't believe it changes the nature of capital punishment, only the process through which perpetrators are convicted, or found innocent. The "nature" of capital punishment is the belief that crimials who have committed heinous acts of murder should pay for their crimes with their lives. This idea doesn't change because of DNA. The DNA simply helps strengthen (or weaken) the case against the individual. If anything, it is easier to "get it right" now with DNA than ever before, so fewer mistakes will be made.
The principle and nature of capital punishment does not change, only the methods through which the individuals on trial are evaluated...

With the advent of DNA testing it helps put a positive id of who was at a murder scene. This way a lot more people are cleared of a crime where all the other evidence was more circumstantial. DNA testing helps keep people out of jail who do not belong there and putting the people who do in jail as well as the correct people being punished via capital punishment. They have managed to clear people who were sitting on death row who were innocent by the use of DNA testing.

DNA has been used to determine the innocence of people on death row who were scheduled for execution.
It doesn't change the nature of the execution -- to answer your question literally -- but it provides a basis for those who have exhausted remedies to prove their innocence.
The fact that some innocent people have been wrongly convicted points out the possibility that there are flaws in our justice system. Perhaps, some prosecutors are too zealous -- interested in winning the case than in justice for the accused.

It exposed exactly how flawed our system is and that in fact, we may very well have executed innocent people given the number of people on death row who were cleared of the crimes due to DNA evidence.
