I don't think this is possible within a single simulation. You would
have to change your topology for each section of your simulations. You
can add constraints to your topology or, if you want to keep the rigid
parts of the protein a bit flexible, bonds of type 6.
Depending on what you want to do, maybe it could also be sufficient to
fit your simulation on some structure and always use the rigid part as
fit group.
