Discovery of anomalously slow diffusion of submicron particles in living cells provokes a number of questions, in particular, on active transport of such subdiffusing nanoparticles by molecular motors. Can such transport be normal or it is also anomalously slow? Can the same motors in the same cells realize both normal and anomalous transport and under which conditions? We answer these intriguing questions [1] within a non-Markovian generalization of standard Markovian continuous diffusion model of molecular motors with two conformational states by taking into account slowly decaying memory effects caused by the viscoelasticity of cytosol. Here we follow to and develop further a general approach to anomalous Brownian motors [2] which is based on Generalized Langevin Equation and its Markovian embedding [3].
