This would be the function of the ribosomes.

The ribosome assembles amino acids into proteins. Ribosomes are small structures made of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and protein. (RNA is a molecule similar in structure to DNA.) When cells need to make proteins, they copy the instructions for the protein from the DNA of the cell by making a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). The mRNA travels to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell. Another type of RNA molecule, called transfer RNA (tRNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome. The tRNA molecules decode the mRNA by binding to it, so that the tRNAs bring in the correct amino acids according to the instructions in the mRNA. The ribosome helps keep this whole process organized and helps form the bonds between the amino acids to create a chain of amino acids. A chain of amino acids is called a polypeptide chain. Polypeptide chains fold up to form proteins.
