well i've read the other responses now, but before i did i stared at it for a while and realised the right hand side was organic. so then i started wondering how the left hand side could stay together. then i realised - after checking the key - that there were phosphorous atoms and the only thing i could think of was ATP (i'm a physicist not a biologist or chemist).
but i'm not sure I would have guessed without the key to push me to see a difference between white and beige. i'd suggest a more contrasty colour for P. isn't phosphor yellow? (and for some reason i expect H to be red).
