Equations (5) and (6) in the published version were incorrectly written. In addition to that, the units given in the first sentence below Eqs. (4) and (5) were incorrect. The correct versions are given below. However, the results presented in the paper were computed with the correct formulas. The figures, results, and discussion are therefore not affected.

Equation (5) should read: dnGlyGasr2dr=QGrainsvpvgas(3Mx4πρxNA)2/3αPxNA2πMxRTp(nGlyGr)2/3JGlyvgasnGlyGasr2. \begin{eqnarray*} \dfrac{\textrm{d}n_{\textrm{Gly}}^{\textrm{Gas}}r^{2}}{\textrm{d}r}&=& \dfrac{Q_{\textrm{Grains}}}{ v_{\textrm{p}}v_{\textrm{gas}}}\left(\dfrac{3M_{\textrm{x}}}{4\pi\rho_{\textrm{x}}N_{\textrm{A}}}\right)^{2/3} \dfrac{\alpha P_{\textrm{x}} N_{\textrm{A}}}{\sqrt{2 \pi M_{\textrm{x}} R T_{\textrm{p}}}} \left(n_{\textrm{Gly}}^{\textrm{Gr}}\right)^{2/3}\nonumber\\ && - \dfrac{J_{\textrm{Gly}}}{v_{\textrm{gas}}}n_{\textrm{Gly}}^{\textrm{Gas}}r^{2}. \end{eqnarray*}(5)

In Sect. 2.1, the text related to Eqs. (4) and (5) should read:

Equation (4) is related to the decrease in the number of glycine molecules in a dust particule, and nGlyGr$_{\textrm{Gly}}^{\textrm{Gr}}$ (molec) is the total number of glycine molecules in a dust particle at a nucleocentric distance r. Additionally, Eq. (5) is related to the glycine density profile; nGlyGas$_{\textrm{Gly}}^{\textrm{Gas}}$ (molec m−3) is the volumic density of gaseous glycine at a nucleocentric distance r.

Equation (6) should read: Rβ=(βρpρx)1/3R0.\begin{eqnarray*} R_{\beta}=\left(\beta \frac{\rho_{\textrm{p}}}{\rho_{\textrm{x}}}\right)^{1/3} R_{0} .\end{eqnarray*}(6)
