We here report the results of a systematic investigation of how binary interaction affects the presupernova evolution of massive stars and the resulting supernova explosions. We summarize the various types of binary interaction and the evolutionary scenarios in which they are realized. We also present the results of a series of hydrodynamical calculations which model the supernova explosion for various progenitor types and discuss their observable characteristics.
