Divalent cation (Ca 2Γ· and Mg 2Γ·) and hydrogen ion-induced fusions of small unilamellar phosphatidic acid vesicles were studied by the use of fluorescence fusion assay. These fusogenic ions also increased interracial tension and reduced the surface dielectric constant of phosphatidic acid membranes
