it depends on what you mean. deoxyribose nucleic acid, or DNA, controls the overall cell and its functions, while adenosine tri-phosphate, or ATP powers the cell through metabolism. though, ATP isn't really a protein...so what you're looking for is probably DNA.

What must occur for amino acids in a protein bar to convet into protein your body cells?

There are no amino acids in protein bars. Amino acids are made up of strands of proteins. What happens is when food is digested, proteins are absorbed by special cells. These cells construct the proteins into an amino acid. They then are transfered to other cells, and disolve into them for energy.
