Yes, if you define it in a [ constraints ] directive, and use "constraints = none" in your .mdp file, so that other bonds will not be converted to constraints, but the one you explicitly set in the topology will be used.

1. Using freezegrps is not generally a good idea to fix a bond length.
Look at the constraints mechenism better. Or just try a bigger force
constant in topology.

2. NPT and freezegrps do not interact correctly, since freezegrps just
freezes any changes of atom positions, so they are not rescaled even if the
box size is changed in NPT.

3. Anyway, I think you have defined incorrect groups if your atoms of
interest are still movable. Check a diffusion constant of your bonded
atoms, it should be zero in the case of freezegrps.

I am trying to freeze a bond (3.5 A) in my system.  I used the index
file to define group and I added this two lines in my .mdp file.

freezegrps         = PA NE freezedim   = Y Y Y Y Y Y

I used g_dist to verify the distance between the freezing atoms. During
 the NVT simulation the distace is around 3.449 A and its constant
though out the simulation. For NPT simulation the distance varies from
3.449 to
3.1.
Can you tell why distance changes in NPT not in NVT.
How can I freeze a bond om NPT simulation?
