Self-assembled DNA nanostructures with chemistry-enabled functionality are of great interest in nanobiotechnology. Herein, chemically modified DNA nanopores are designed to puncture cellular membranes and cause cytotoxicity. The nanopores are assembled from DNA oligonucleotides to form a 2 nm-high hydrophobic belt at one terminus. The belt is composed of charge-neutralized ethyl phosphorothioate (EP) groups which are required to decrease cell viability. The mode by which the pores achieve cell killing is elucidated with confocal microscopy. This study is the first to describe the interaction of DNA nanopores with cells. The work lays the foundation for the future development of cytotoxic agents with cancer type-specificity.Chemistry can play an important role in expanding the functional repertoire of DNA nanostructures.[1, 2] Designed nanomaterials have been developed by equipping DNA scaffolds [2, 3] with chemical linkages to spatially arrange nanoparticles,[4] fluorophores,[5] or proteins.[6] These DNA nanostructures have been mostly applied for cell-free applications but not for cell biology even though the latter field benefits from nanomaterials as demonstrated with canonical nucleic
